Staying inside on Earth Day?

There are plenty of outdoor activities for you to enjoy this Earth Day. You can visit the Orlando Wetlands Park, celebrate Earth Day Work Day on your lunch break, and attend Central Florida Earth Day at Lake Eola Park. But what if you’d rather enjoy the great indoors this Earth Day? Here are 6 ways to celebrate Earth Day indoors:

1. Switch your bills to paperless statements. Reduce paper waste and get your bills delivered online.
2. Check for faucet leaks. Leaky faucets can contribute to a lot of water waste.
3. Beat the Grease. Pouring oil and grease down the drain is the leading cause of sewer backups in homes. You can request a free cooking oil jug here.
4. Upgrade your light bulbs. Environmentally friendly light bulbs, like LED’s, typically use about 25%-80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs.
5. Recycle. Think of ways you can reuse items; glass bottles could double as a rolling pin or vase.
6. Start composting. A great way to reduce your landfill contribution and create your nutrient-rich soil is home composting. Order your composter here.
