Earth Day 2015


5 Very Simple Ways to Help Our Planet:
  1. Open your blinds or curtains instead of turning on the lights!
  2. Use a tote bag when you shop instead of plastic!
  3. Disconnect - take a walk, meditate, hang with friends… just do it without your phone!
  4. Wash your hair every other day (it’s better for your hair too)!
  5. Turn off your computer at night!
