GREEN POST: Tips and Tricks to Save Money and Mother Earth!

Hey hey hey! This is my first post for my newest "parent category" as wordpress said it, my GREEN post! It's all about saving Earth and saving our pockets and wallets by recycling, reusing, reducing, money-wise and being smart! Cool huh?

One reason I love Pinterest are educational posts like these and I felt like gotta share 'em! Some of the things I like are the shower head magic using vinegar, the soda pop hanger, nail polished keys, car lights cleaner and more! Seriously, this is fun and FUN and GREEN! :)

Earth Day 2012

Today, March 31 marks Earth Day 2012 and as an individual I want to share my simple ways on saving Mother Earth. Here's my daily act of green!

• sleep with lights close
• brush teeth not with water running but with a glass of water
• separating degradable and recyclable materials
• recycle plastic bags and container
• when shopping, I use my own plastic bag like my mom does
• when checking my atm balance, I don't ask for receipt that i will just throw away later, like my dad does
• not throwing candy wrappers anywhere!
• recycling used paper
• not switching the lights in the morning
• carpooling, all my family members to that :)
• not burn any plastic and rubber

And as another way of  showing my care, here are the pledges that i will do to extend my hands more in helping saving our home

• will plant trees and plants, will make my own mini garden
• will use energy-efficient appliances and bulbs
• will help support groups that take care of endangered animals
• will support eco-friendly designs as a structural engineer
• will share my advocacy to everyone i encounter

and by that, check out my embedded widget (on the upper right portion of this blog)  i got from earthday.org  and share your Acts of Green!
