Today is Earth Day, and if you're like me, it's exciting to know that people all over the world are taking today to celebrate and care for the earth. As I was driving to work this morning, they were playing a clip of John Denver’s song, "Earth Day, Every Day." I think it is important for us to remember to celebrate Earth Day, Every Day; this is where we live, where we raise our children, where we work, where we play. As many of you are well aware, our planet is in need of a little TLC. We don't know yet what the effects of global warming will have on us and future generations, but we do know that there are small steps we can take to reduce our carbon footprint and maybe even have a positive impact on our world.
One way to reduce your carbon footprint on the earth is to use environmentally-friendly cleaning products, like Snap™. The Snap line of cleaning products including All-Purpose Natural Concentrate, Heavy-Duty Concentrate, Dishwashing Liquid, Laundry Detergent and Fabric Softener are made with plant-based ingredients and essential oils that are biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for septic systems and bottled with recyclable plastic. Snap's highly-concentrated formulas in addition to being economical, help to reduce waste generated from plastic bottles. One bottle of Heavy-Duty Concentrate replaces up to 16 bottles of the leading spot and stain remover; that's reducing waste by 16 bottles for one product. One bottle of All-Purpose Natural Concentrate replaces over 1000 bottles of glass cleaner; that's reducing waste by 1000 bottles for one product. Just imagine how much waste could be eliminated by everyone you know replacing their current cabinet-full of cleaning products with Snap!
Recycle your aluminum and steel cans, if everyone in the U.S. recycled their cans for one year, it would be like taking nearly 4,000,000 cars off the road for one year.
Recycle your newspapers and magazines; if everyone in the U.S. recycled their paper products for one year, it would be like taking over 5,000,000 cars off the road for one year.
Switch your regular incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescents, if everyone in the U.S. made this switch it would be like taking nearly 5,000,000 cars off the road for one year. (Guess what? You can buy compact fluorescents from several of our partner stores including Wal-Mart, Target and Home Depot.)
Wash your laundry on a cooler setting, if everyone in the U.S. did this for one year, it would be like taking over 3,000,000 cars off the road for one year.
Use a programmable thermostat to modify the temperature in your home when you are not there, if everyone in the U.S. used one of these for one year, it would be like taking over 12,000,000 cars off the road for one year. (Available from several of our partner stores including Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Smart Home and Sears.)
Use power strips to reduce energy waste from devices that are plugged in but not being used. If everyone in the U.S. used power strips to switch off unused devices, it would be like taking over 15,000,000 cars off the road for one year.
So take time today to reflect on the many different ways you can make a positive impact on the earth. If you know someone who's not using Snap, buy them a Snap PAK – save time, money and the earth! If you're not already recycling, start. Switch over to compact fluorescents – they're more expensive at first, but they last longer and can save you money on your utility bill. If you're buying a new car, consider a hybrid or one that gets better gas mileage. Together we can make a difference. Happy Earth Day!
