April is not only awesome as plants and trees start to bud...but also because it is Earth Month.
Here are a few simple things you can do to celebrate the planet this month:
Go paperless or double-sided – avoid printing if you don’t have to as most of us have our devices handy anyway or use both sides of paper when printing or copying and save some trees! And unsubscribe to catalogues using www.catalogchoice.org or www.paperkarma.com.
BYOB – Bags and Bottles, that is. Use your reusable grocery bags instead of the store’s disposable plastic bags and avoid using disposable water bottles whenever possible...it adds up quickly to a better environment!
Plant a tree – a single tree has a number of benefits beyond just its beauty and shade value as it also has the ability to act as an air filter for carbon dioxide and provide a supply of enough oxygen for two people!
Walk or bike if you can - leave the car at home and walk or bike to do that errand. Or carpool with some neighbors or friends to school or activities. And definitely turn off your engine whenever possible.
Small changes can make a big difference! For more information go to www.wellesleygreenschools.com.
