SLOW GLOBAL WARMING PART 2
It is possible for us to save the earth from global warming and save money at the same time at home and at work. The steps we will take to protect our environment can make our lives better in many ways; our grandchildren, their children and the future generations in general will thank us for living sustainably. We need to find ways to save energy and reduce air pollution which has led to environmental problems such as global warming and climate change.
Here are some simple things we can do to save the earth, money and live a happier, healthier life.
• Unplug appliances when you are not using them
• Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible and save the energy you would use to warm water or the energy to be used by a washing machine.
• Use a clothesline to dry your clothes and save the energy used during machine drying.
• Install a low-flow showerhead in your bathroom to save water.
• Plant drought resistant native plants in your garden since they require minimal watering.
• Walk to work or bike to reduce risk of obesity.
• Use a water filter to purify tap water instead of purchasing bottled water since bottled water generates container waste.
• When travelling or at work carry reusable water bottle maybe aluminum rather than plastic.
• Borrow from libraries instead of buying personal books and movies this saves the ink and paper that goes into printing and also helps save money.
• Buy in bulk to save money and packaging at the same time reduce waste.
• Wear clothes that don’t need to be dry cleaned and cut down on toxic chemical use and save money.
• Purchase high quality long-lasting products, you will not have to replace them frequently and this means less waste.
• Keep your electronics out of the trash. You can donate or recycle them when the time comes (E-waste contains mercury and other heavy metals be careful)
• Make your own cleaning products and save money and packaging. This is very easy for more information email me.
Let’s go green as much as possible and save mother earth.

Finally I have a tree nursery
I have always wanted to have my own tree nursery and finally I have achieved that. . Establishment of a tree nursery is one of the ways in which global warming can be slowed down since more tree are going to be planted. I have posted some photos of my tree nursery although the seedlings have not yet germinated but I will post the other photos when they germinate.
Lovely day to you all.
Sustainey.
