You May rememmber we published a post a few weeks ago that titled small ways you can help the enviroment today well we have come up with a list of 7 more ways to help ot the enviroment, hence a part II to the previous post.

Starting a new small environmental friendly habit today can really help ensure the future of the planet, especially if you can encourage your friends, family and acquaintances to do the same. Here are seven things that you could start doing today.

1. Instead of using paper cups, paper napkins and towels, tissues (for your blowing your nose), try using mugs that you can wash up, cloth napkins and towels you can reuse, and handkerchiefs that you can wash. This way you will make sure that you are creating less waste going into the environment on a daily basis
2. Think of more environmentally friendly ways to get to work, maybe by car pooling with a colleague, so there are fewer cars on the road. Other considerations could be walking, cycling, taking the bus or train. Whatever the option, one less car on the road is always a good thing, as it reduces emissions into the environment.
3. You can conserve energy by making sure lights are switched off when you are not in a particular room, taking shorter showers, or even just switching the television off for an hour.
4. Another good energy saving tip is to use these CFC light bulbs (you know those spiral looking ones). Even though they are a little more expensive they do last longer and are better for the environment.
5. When you go out to the park, or beach, or just a walk around your local area, why not make the environment a better place by picking up and throwing away (or even recycling) any bottles or litter you may find.
6. You can buy recycled items where you can and also look at second hand goods like furniture, clothes and cars. You can get them cheaper and you will be surprised at the quality and variety available.
7. Lastly a great little tip is to make sure that your tires are properly inflated! Tires that have the correct pressure, both last longer with less wear and actually save a little fuel consumption. Remember you can always recycle worn out tires, as many wondrous things can be made from recycled tires like rubber mulch.
