How did you make your routine a little "greener" today?
I took a really fast, lukewarm shower, to start.
I used all organic or at least naturally-derived products - from my soap to my mascara.
I let my hair air dry.
I turned off the heat and opened the windows (it is actually nice outside in WI for once).
I didn't and I'm not going to drive at all today.
When I did laundry, I used cool water and hung everything up to dry instead of using the dryer.
To wipe up messes, I used a washable cleaning cloth instead of paper towel.
I used vinegar to clean the windows and glass instead of chemical-laden sprays.
A few of those acts are regular for me, but I did make a few sacrifices! I figured at least one day out of the year deserves a little more effort. :D
