Earth Day 2010

With Earth Day here upon us, I went back and re-read a post I did November 2009. The title: “Green Radar” It was an article speaking of all the things Watkins does to be environmentally green. As I was reading it I couldn’t help but think how Watkins has always been the pioneer in so many aspects of being green. While “Earth Day” is not about celebrating the “Green” impact companies have on the world, I think it is an important part. Because of the things Watkins does to be “Green”, they have given me inspiration to work harder in my business and personal life to understand the impact we all have when we make “Green” decisions (wrote about that here). For one thing, since they now have Plant-Based Natural cleaners; our home is clean and healthy for our family and our Yellow Lab. The old chemical cleaners we used to use wreaked havoc on my wife’s asthma; not so with Watkins Plant-Based Natural cleaners.

I thought I would share some the things we have done in our household in the past year (not just on Earth Day) to be more green.

• We are only buying Energy Efficient Fluorescent lighting
• I have switched from using paper towels to cloth towels
• I use a filtered water pitcher instead of bottled water
• We recycle at our local recycling center
• I use a re-usable water glass and coffee cup at work instead of Styrofoam
• I carry a thermos of coffee to work instead of buying Starbucks (no paper cup)
• I use a digital camera (no film or processing chemicals needed)
• I use rechargeable batteries
• I try to consolidate trips out (ie: pick up groceries on the way home from work instead of extra trip)
• Use NPA certified Watkins Natural Personal Care Products
• Use Watkins Natural Plant-Based Products to clean our home

There may be other things, this is just what I came up with off the top of my head!
