Does your address end with, Earth?

Does your address end with, Earth?


Rescuing Earth from permanent damage is something you were hired to do. You accepted that job, as you opened this link. Congratulations! So you're not obliged, but I'll cheerfully assume, that you're on board!

Choices for Your Home

  • A 1975 fridge uses up to four times as much electricity as a new Energy Star model (Ontario Power Authority).
  • Use a wet sponge, instead of paper towels to dust your home! Old T-shirts with advertisements on the back, or lonely socks? Do it!
  • For stains in the carpets:sprinkle baking soda, wait 67 minutes and vacuum away. I LOVE YOUR LUNGS!
  • Organic foods. 30% more antioxidants, organic farming uses 30% less fossil fuel energy and you get to eat soil bacteria that is typically killed with pesticides. These bacteria are vastly significant.
  • Power bars.
If You Succeded in Life, You Own a Car.
  • A mere ten seconds of idling uses up more fuel than restarting your engine.
  • If tires are uneven, under inflated, fuel consumption goes up. Check tire inflation pressure once/month.
To further reduce waste, and be a good global citizen, sign up with a local Freecycle community in your city - where folks give away furniture, books, toys for free, in order to preserve the landfills! RRRR's!
