Three ways to save the planet

Well, we all know that the planet is in trouble - surprisingly its not global warming that it the problem - its humans in general. Here are 3 simple ways to help save the planet - It all starts with you at home -

1# Refuse plastic bags if your only getting 1 item - You don't need a bag for a bottle of milk - it has a handle just carry it. Even better take your own along if your planing to do a large shop - Don't use the ones you can buy at the supermarket - they are made also of plastic - the best ones are material bags that are made from natural fibres.

2# Reduce reuse and recycle. The average Australian pumps approximately 2.5 kilograms of rubbish into land fill every day. Think - Recycle if it can be - arrange for pick up of chemicals from your local council.

3# Don't cut back - Just think smart. If your not in a room, make sure the light and air conditioning is off.

Happy saving the Planet
