In honor of Earth Day, I’m sharing 5 of the easiest ways I can think of to be eco-friendly:
1. Use the stairs instead of the elevator
This saves electricity from the elevator not having to run unnecessarily, especially if you’re the only one who would be in the elevator.
2. Park in your driveway instead of the garage if you’re going to be leaving again that same day
This saves the electricity of the garage door being opened.
3. Use cloth napkins
This saves trees from less paper napkins being used.
4. Turn old t-shirts into rags
This saves on paper towels. It’s especially useful if the t-shirt is stained since no one would be able to wear it again anyway.
5. Choose no receipt at the gas station, ATM, or other places
This is an easy way to save trees, especially if you don’t need to keep the receipt for any reason.
These small actions can have a significant impact over time. One napkin at a time. As an added bonus, #2, #3, and #4 are also ways to save some cash. Please share your own easy tips for helping the earth!

I have about a million eco-tips, but one of the easiest is to turn off lights when not in use. I have a lot of specific strategies for minimizing lighting in this post: Tips from the Lightbulb Ninja. Happy Earth Day!
I agree, Becca! Turning off unnecessary lights is so easy. Thanks for your comment!
