Tips for Greening Your Life

· Reuse your towels: your body is clean after showering, so there’s no need to use a different towel each time.

· Don’t use paper towels to dry your hands: keep a small hand-towel in your bathroom to cut down on wasting paper towels.

· Turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth or similar activities: you can waste up to 3 gallons of water in a minute!

· Use waxed dental floss for sewing: the coating will make it less prone to ripping and gives it an extra use.

· Wait until you have a full load to do laundry to save water.

· Unplug your phone charger when it is not in use: chargers that are plugged in tend to use energy even when not connected to your phone.

· Buy reusable bags for shopping: if you do have plastic bags, use them for trash or recyclables.
· Buy a mug or water bottle: this will cut down on using lots of unnecessary plastic.

· To relieve menstrual cramps: drink chamomile or spearmint hot teas. Taking meds like Pamprin or Midol only supports major pharmaceuticals that use ingredients found only in remote areas of the world like rainforests that also seeks to literally make money off of women’s pain.
