I am less than two weeks away from my week long Spring Break vacation and I am sure that many of you who read my blog will also be vacationing during the month of March. I thought it was an appropriate time to mention 5 things you can do to stay eco-friendly while you travel.
1. Eat all your food. Don't waste food that will perish while you are gone.
2. Unplug everything. Even the little things like clocks and coffee makers make a difference.
3. Put your outdoor lights on timers if you plan to leave them on while you are gone. Leaving outside lights on is a good way to scare away burglars, but leaving them on during the daylight is just a waste of energy.
4. Carpool to the airport. If you have friends or family traveling at the same time, travel together.
5. Bring your reusable water bottle with you so you don't have to buy plastic ones while you travel.
Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Spring Break!!

My sons went to "Nature's Classroom" for a week, back in 6th grade and they divided the teams into 2 - the teams had to compete to eat all their food, the left overs was referred to as "gorp" and the team with the most leftover lost. A good way to keep everyone healthy. They hiked and had an out door classroom.
ReplyDeleteAs a child - we were proud to finish our plates. I thank my parents for that, good food and not being wasteful in a family of 7. Some dinners were truly magically prepared from very little.
