What’s your “Earth Day Fix”

Dog brushing teethLast night, Sara noticed that I always run the water while brushing my teeth, which honestly is a total waste. There’s no need for it to be running, it’s just habit.

Instead of “going green” or making some other token effort today, I’m going to actually make a small fix in the way I do things. From now on, I won’t waste that water every day when I brush my teeth. It’s a small thing, but it’s a lot of fresh clean water going down the drain just because I’ve always done it that way.

So, this is my challenge to you: what one small thing can you change today and going forward that will make a little bit of difference. When you’ve figured out what it is, twitter it, and tag it #EDF (earth day fix).

    Hahaha – It’s okay, I pretty much set it up. :)

    I know this isn’t a big deal, but I was being stubborn about it for no good reason, and instead of making my webpage green or some other ineffectual thing, I figured I’d stop being wasteful in one small way, and challenge others to do the same.
