Overall our country is very wasteful.

American’s generally throw things away that they can’t sell at a garage sale, or we dont need anymore. We will recycle an occasional can or bottle, but only if the recycling is clearly labeled in a convienent location!

Some of the things that I think will change the “footprint” left by this nations generations are not very hard to accomplish.

• Taking local transportation, like buses or electric trains.

This can significantly reduce time spent driving and burning all of that gas! Plus you dont have to deal with all of that rush hour traffic each day.

• Recycling more of your recyclable items, and even composting when applicable.

Composted items can be turned into great ground soils!

• Turning the lights off when you leave a room.

This one tends to be overlooked, but all across America lights are being wasted on empty rooms, PLEASE turn the light off.

It will not only save you money, but saves energy for the next time you need the light.


• Hang your clothes on a clothing line, saving the energy that the dryer would have to use.

If more of the country can do these things in their daily lives, maybe it won’t be so hard to save our planet!
