For a company like TerraPass, Earth Day is more than a birthday or just one special day to celebrate. Personally, I don’t believe Earth Day is the only day to celebrate or practice green habits. Earth Day is a day to notice what is around us and do our best to make small changes that will last the whole year. Earth Day should be treated like New Year for the Earth. The biggest lesson I have learned working for TerraPass, is that small changes make a big difference for your wallet, for your business and for the environment.
- Driving your vehicle more conservatively saves a half of gallon of gas per week. In one year that’s $65 saved on fuel and a reduction of over 500 lbs of carbon dioxide!
- If you buy a case of water per week for one year, you spend over $250 per year just on water! Skip the disposable bottles and check out Klean Kanteen for great reusable water bottles.
Understanding your personal carbon footprint is the first step to a cleaner planet. CNPP has shown great initiative and created a way for more businesses to take steps to lower carbon dioxide emissions. Take the time to learn your personal and business footprint. Then you can come up with creative ways to lower your overall energy use. I enjoy hearing new ideas to share! Visit us at www.terrapass.com for more usable tips from The TerraPass Footprint.
