Easy ways your family can "go green"

Going green is extremely important to our planet which we live in. As we all know the effects of "Global Warming" is having on our planet. We all to take responsibility to minimize the effects it is having on our planet. Most importantly if we destroy the planet then there will not be anything left for our future generations to continue. Sooner we realize the damage we are causing to our planet, & "Go Green", the positive results will yield.

Look at "Going Green" as a positive effect on our environment & also compare it to your health. Basically, how one treats his or her body. If one eats junk food, unhealthy food, not exercise the body will not operate smoothly. Rather it will break down & end up seeking medical help with all sorts of health problems. In same manner we all have to respect & treat our environment with care otherwise it will be destroyed. It only takes a few seconds to destroy and takes years to build. This is what i remind myself about "Going Green".

There are millions of ways one can go green in our homes & every bit helps. If we all do our part we will have a much better planet. We must teach our kids and ourselves about the planet and understand cause and effect. Once we understand it then it becomes second nature by going "Green" to save our planet.

When washing vegetables, don't run the tap water continuously, fill up a container of water & use it to wash the vegetables, meats, pulses that needs to be washed.

Taking shower, don't run the shower continuously. Install a shower head which has low pressure, to conserve water, take short showers, & don't waste water while lathering up with soap rather turn off the shower & turn it back on to do the final rinse.
Same goes for when brushing teeth.

Drinking water, is important to nourish our body & keep it hydrated. I see a lot of people will fill up their glass with water & then throw it out. We have a choice here to make. Fill up the glass with water with how much you can drink rather than fill it to the top and throwing most of it away if you cannot drink it or fill your glass up with water, drink as much as you want, put the rest in the fridge, drink when you want, so you are not wasting by filling your glass up again and throwing away water which is not consumed.

Use solar powered battery charger for your cell phone which is awesome rather than plugging it at home on the outlet. You can take this solar powered cell phone charger anywhere & never have to worry about batteries.
