Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Lessen energy consumption, and save money in the process! Use rechargeable batteries to keep hazards out of landfills. Compact fluorescent light bulbs last about 13 times longer and use about 1/4 of the energy.
You can improve your nutrition by knowing what is in your food and how it was produced, from farm to fork. Eat your veggies and go organic if you can. Add extra physical activity everyday. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park the car, and walk or bike.
