A recent article in Woman's Day magazine listed several painless things each of us could do to help "green" out environment in an article entitled, "Small steps, big impact," which include: *If you recycle your Sunday paper every week, you will keep four trees alive per year and increase the Earth's oxygen. *Cutting one 20-mile car trip each week by completing errands at once rather than making separate trips, you will prevent more than 1200 pounds of greenhouse gas from being emitted and adding to global warming. *If you recycle a 6-pack of aluminum cans every week, you will save enough energy to power a television for 936 hours. *If you cut five minutes from your daily shower, you will save up to 9000 gallons of water. Think of the positive impact for our Earth and our dwindling natural resources if everyone in your family and circle of friends did this!
