There are so many ways to save the environment that just thinking about it anybody can come up with a new idea. Some will come about by accident like what I had happen in my garage.  I was changing the oil in my car.  I always save the old oil to lubricate my motorcycle drive chains when I spilled some on an old piece of plastic.  I wiped it off a presto it looked like new.  I knew this but never thought about it, plastic is a petroleum-based product. Oil is a petroleum-based product. I now use old oil to revitalize most of my plastic.  Dirty oil needs to sit and at times be centrifuged but it work just fine try it.

A simple thing that will not only help the environment but your pocket book is to buy the things you need in bulk whenever possible.  This can be done in part at the grocery store or the department store.  This way there will be less packaging and trips to the store, which will save on fuel. Some times when a person buys in bulk they will need to repackage the items, that is ok remember the packages of ice cream you have already eaten from and cleaned the container, reuse them.

For those of you that are like me and like things for free try using your grass clippings and trimmings from the shrubs in your composted pile.  This is the world’s best fertilizer because it is just what Mother Nature uses.

For those of you that work in an office with a coping machine, grab the discarded paper.  My children love to draw and this is free paper and is possible for them to express themselves without a cost.   For those of you that either do not have children or they have left the nest, think you still use scrap paper.  This is a perfect way to not only fill the need but also save money.

There are so many ways to save the environment just think and do it.
