10 Simple Solutions
Just like our product, we want to have a deeper meaning than simply serving consumers. We’re passionate about what we sell and why we sell. We don’t measure our success based on excel sheets displaying sales. We measure our success by how many people we have helped. We realize that the power to better ourselves is through helping others.By using the Razor Mate you are positively contributing to the environment. You are thinking and becoming part of the solution. We want to share with you other ways in which you can help.
Along with using the Razor Mate, there are simple everyday actions that can be taken to aim us in the right direction. Doing these small things may not seem substantial, but with all of us doing a little, together we can achieve a lot.
1. Cold or Warm?
Washing your clothes in cold water or warm water rather than hot has substantial savings. If the U.S alone switched to this method we could salvage an amount of energy equivalent to 100,000 barrels of oil……per day!
P.S. Make sure to fill the load each time you wash.
2. Pass me the comics:
Think outside the box and wrap your gifts in something reusable or multifunctional. If you’re going to recycle the newspaper, reuse it first.
3. Natural Spring Water:
Don’t believe everything you read. FDA regulations are stricter on tap water than bottled water. All the more reason to buy a reusable bottle instead of cracking the seal each time you’re thirsty. If you buy bottled water, don’t forget to recycle. Almost 90% of bottles never see the recycling bin.
4. Paper Weight:
For many of us it would be a losing battle if we tried to wrestle the weight equivalent to the amount of paper we waste each year. On average, American businesses go through 21 million tons of paper per year. Set the printer on two-sided print and we’ll have half the problem.
5. Water Usage:
Watching water is almost as intriguing as staring into a fire, but quite wasteful. If you have a habit of leaving the water on as you brush your teeth stop it. On average you could save five gallons a day or contribute to the savings of 1.5 billion gallons a day, nationally.
6. Shed your light on others:
Those spiral fluorescent light bulbs are distinctive looking from your traditional bulb, they also happen to be substantially more efficient. If you don’t like the glow they project consider this, if every home in the U.S. replaced just one traditional bulb with an efficiency bulb it would be equivalent to removing a million cars from the road.
7. Online Bank:
The option to online bill pay and receive e-statements can tremendously reduce our waste individually. If all households across the U.S would adopt these simple methods we would save 1.7 billion pounds of waste, remove 2.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and we could salvage 18.5 million trees every year.
8. Reusable Bags:
Avoid using plastic bags, they’re not biodegradable. The U.S. accounts for a significant portion of plastic bag use at 84 billion annually. They are one of the most abundant forms of waste found in the ocean and simply using reusable bags could substantially eliminate waste and pollution.
9. Wax On!
If you like washing your car yourself rather than taking it through the car wash, consider this. 8.7 billion gallons of water could be saved if everyone who washes their own car went through the car wash just once. Professional car washes are simply more efficient with water usage.
10. Give:
Before trashing extra clutter around the house think about giving it away first. There are tons of Good Will, Salvation Army and local second-hand stores nationwide. Many of the things we see as used up are seen as useful to others.
