Take two weeks. You can make a difference in your life. And you can make a difference in our world.
At Maxwell PR, a few of us are stretching ourselves to support sustainability. The agency makes the challenge pretty 
simple by providing a compost bucket, multiple recycling bins and plenty of encouragement.
Personally, I’m doing little things that don’t largely change my routine. If I try to do something drastic, I know it won’t get done. Check out my checklist of activities I have been changing over the past week:
- Take shorter showers (limit to seven minutes)
- Shave in the shower instead of after
- Use both sides of scratch paper
- Drink tap water
- Reuse dishes if they aren’t dirty
- Wear clothes until dirty
- Don’t use lights if possible
- Ride my bike to local destinations (a friends house, grocery store, etc.) instead of driving
Simple enough, right? And although it’s only been a week, I’m not struggling at all. It’s actually saves me money! Yes, I’m rather giddy to see the water and electric bills this month.
