Can You Help Our Environment?

There are many easy things that you and your family can do every day to put less strain on the environment.

1. Before throwing letter-size paper into the garbage, check the back of sheets to see if they’re blank. If so, use them for drawing. Or cut them into squares and use them as notepaper beside the phone.
2. Reuse big envelopes that arrive in the mail. Just put a new address label on – any square of paper will do – and send them out again.
3. Most families get many pieces of junk mail. These are a great waste of paper if you don’t want them and don’t read them. Send pieces of junk mail back where they came from – at the mailers’ expense. Tell the mailers you don’t want any more. Put a "no circulars" notice on your mailbox.
4. If possible, take showers instead of baths. Showers use less water than baths. Don’t throw out those last little bits of soap. Stick them to the next bar.
