Reuse "trash"
by Savanna
 | Do you need a new purse to match your outfit for the party next week? Go to the store, buy some gum, and make a purse from the wrappers! You could even make a wallet to match! Need more color? try using Starburst wrappers or anything else that you would normally throw away. It's a lot of fun and a great way to reuse "trash"!!! |
Eco School Clubs
by C.S.
| At my school if you make rules, guide lines, and of course get it approved by the principal you can start your own club. See if you can start an eco-friendly club. There's already two at m y school. You might want to research ways to help the enviroment locally. Don't forget to make it interesting and fun or no one will join! |
Multi-tasking for our Mama!
by Sam Larsen
 | Try multi-tasking in the shower. Brush your teeth while that conditioner sets in. Put your face wash on so it can take effect while you rince out the conditioner. Every little bit saves time! |
Eat Local
by Momo
| Make sure you know where the food is coming from, it wastes LOTS of gas if it comes from across the country. Buy fresh foods from your local market (saves gas). |
Cleaning Up Spills
by Antonia
| Instead of using paper towels to clean up spills, keep a few old dish cloths (drying up cloths) handy, and use them instead. Then throw them in the washing machine with all the other laundry. This will save on paper towels and the money to buy them! They are also much more effective too! |
