The Future

We need to take care of our planet so we can leave it in a reasonable condition for our children and our children’s children. Here are some easy tips we can all do to make a difference:

• Make a watering can from a used milk carton – just make a few holes in the lid
• Use an old cheese grater to hang your earrings on
• Use the clothes line rather than the dryer – go on, it’s just out your back door
• Shop at Op Shops – it’s great fun and you often pick up a bargain
• When you finish reading a book send it on a book journey so others can also enjoy the story
• Turn off lights when not in the room
• Pop an extra jumper on before turning the heating on
• Don’t ever take a plastic bag – and if you do, make sure you use it again and again
• Walk short distances – leave the car at home or use public transport
• Compost your fresh food scraps
• Don’t buy foods in individual packaging –buy a bulk pack and make up individual portions at home in reusable containers
• Invest in a good water bottle and keep it with you at all times that way you won’t be needing to purchase packaged water
• Don’t purchase it if you don’t need it
• Always repurpose old clothes – this may be to the local Op Shop 
•  or if they are too far gone, they can still be used as dusters or even donated as dusters.

 
These are only little everyday changes, but with every change, be it small or large, a change is still a change.
