Simpler Times

Every night that i'm home, I'll take one or two hours to light my small apartment with candle light! It saves energy, and brings me back to a simpler time!

In order to save trees and plants outside our home, I dig up green briar.

I make sure that my team carries kerosene while on camping treks and avoid using firewood. I encourage trekkers to carry iodine to purify their drinking water while on treks instead of buying and carrying bottled water. I encourage people to hike on the designated trails and not stomp around everywhere!

I turn off the tap while brushing my teeth and taking a shower, you could save up to 8 gallons of water a day simply by turning off the tap while you brush your teeth in the morning and at night. I turn off the switch on appliances not in use and lights in rooms i am not in, this can save up to 10% of household electricity. And i recycle! Love the planet - Respect your Habitat!

I love this idea! I'm going to do it too!
