The Simple(r) Life
7 easy ways to protect the planet's resources
1. Turn the faucet off while you brush your teeth and lather up your hands. Keep showers as short as possible, and turn the water off while you're shaving. Most showers pump out up to five gallons of water per minute.
2. Wash clothes in cold water. And consider letting them "line dry" instead of tossing them into the dryer.
3. Keep car tires properly inflated to save gas and maybe even extend the life of the car itself.
4. Plan errands. One trip rather than three saves gas and wear-and-tear on your car. And you'll likely save time, too.
5. Reuse packaging. That plastic yogurt tub and glass salsa jar are already food -safe and thus perfect for storing leftovers. Save heavy packing boxes to store crafts or ship Christmas gifts, or offer the boxes to a friend who's moving.
6. Pay bills online. You won't have to spend time—and money—buying stamps, writing checks, and driving to the post office. If you've wondered why utility companies and merchants offer incentives to switch to electronic billing, mystery solved: They save time and money, too.
7. Take care of possessions; buy less. Only buy clothing you'll need. Reattach buttons and mend any still-usable pieces. Donate items you haven't worn in more than a year. Remember, everything has a cost far beyond the price tag: Each product requires natural resources to manufacture and transport.
