Remember When
Do you remember a time when conservation practices were a part of your daily life? That is the mind set that we need to remember when making choices today.
Here are some conservation suggestions:
-
Use a clothes line instead of a dryer.
-
My dad always cut up paper that was only printed on one side and stapled them together to make memo pads. I think of him when I see those memo pads.
-
I turn off the water when brushing my teeth. Not everyone has the abundance of water like us and I try to remember that.
-
Turn off the lights/tv/appliance when leaving the room.
-
Wear a nightcap to bed.
-
Recycle and reuse materials-- be creative!
-
Grow your own garden/shop local.
-
Remember when we had to conserve fuel oil?
-
Stop using disposable coffee cups and water bottles.
-
Some connections to WWII conservation efforts on blog.
