What can YOU do to help the Earth? Being that today is Earth Day, here are some things that you can do to help protect our most valuable respurce:
Re-route your commute.
Walk or bike to work and save money on gas and parking while improving your cardiovascular health and reducing your risk of obesity.
Buy local.
Shop at your local farmers’ market. Though the offerings can be more expensive, you can generally count on a higher quality product—and the entire purchase price goes directly to the farmer. Buying any goods produced locally saves energy by reducing the fossil fuels needed to transport food and other items across the country and around the globe.
Skip the bottled water at the grocery or convenience store.
Filter your tap water for drinking rather than using bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it produces large amounts of container waste.
Have a HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Buy used.
Whether you’ve just moved to a new area or are looking to redecorate, consider a service like craigslist or FreeSharing to track down furniture, appliances, and other items, rather than buying them new. Check out garage sales and thrift stores for clothing and other everyday items.

Change the thermostat setting and install energy saving devices. 
Setting your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer can translate to substantial savings on your utility bills.
Install low-flow showerheads and take shorter showers to save water and the energy used to heat it. Or, consider eventually installing a solar hot water heater on your property.
Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible and use a drying rack or clothesline. When incandescent bulbs burn out, replace them with longer-lasting, low-energy compact fluorescent bulbs.

Use safe, non-toxic cleaning products. Save money, time, and your indoor air quality.
The company I shop with is Melaleuca, The Wellness Company. Melaleuca researches, develops and manufactures over 350 household consumable products we all use and run out of every single day. Melaleuca guarantees that they will never use harmful ingredients such as Formaldehyde, Phenols, NTA’s, chlorine Bleach and many other hazardous chemicals and this is just one of the reasons for the company’s success.
Melaleuca is a wholesale shopping club much like a Costco or Sam’s Club who has been around since 1985 with continued growth every single year. They are committed to protecting our environment as well as the health of their consumers. Their products will save you money, they work better, and will help you, your family, and our environment be a healthier place for everyone.
