Who knew that putting off today what you can do tomorrow, that being slothful and lazy was so good for the environment. La Maguerite provides us with a list of things to not do to save on energy and carbon, proving that it's not hard to be green, it's easy.
1. Wait for full load to run dishwasher: I don't know about you, but nobody in my house is too keen on emptying the dishwasher; this way, you will cut down on the misery.
2. Wait for full load to run washer: Less time taking the dirty laundry down, filling the washer with soap and laundry, and taking the washed clothes out.
3. Wait for full load to run dryer: That will cut down on times for loading, unloading, and transporting the clean laundry back to your room.
4. Mow your lawn less often: Nobody will notice the difference.
5. Change your sheets, towels, and clothes less often: If it passes the smell test, it's good.6. Don't drive, ask to get a ride with your friends: See how long you can get away with always being the passenger, and then switch for a while.
7. Don't flush: Remember, "if it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down."
8. Cut down on your shopping trips: You won't have to get in your car, find a parking space, deal with the crowds, pull your wallet out, carry the bags, get your car keys out, drive home, empty the bags, and dispose of the bags.
9. Buy less: This way you won't need as much money, and you won't need to work as much.
10. Skip presents altogether: Now you can use green as an excuse.
11. Forget preheat when cooking in the oven: That's one less thing to remember.
12. Men, don't wear ties or jackets in the summer: It's the new green thing.
13. Leave grass clippings on the lawn: It's good for the lawn, and who wants to rake that stuff anyway?
14. Favor salads and quick meals that don't require much cooking: You will save your time and also money from using less gas and electricity.
15. Skip the plastic bags at the produce section: Instead, dump all your fruit and vegetables directly into your shopping cart (that only works for the bigger items of course). ::La Marguerite
