We sometimes discuss and vent on the bigger issues in the green living movement. Should we look into home wind turbines, buy a hybrid, unplug the fridge, build a rain catchment system, etc? Today, let's go back to the often overlooked but really easy ways to go green. You know, not everything we do in life has to be so ground breaking. Sometimes we can do something we like and it might have a small impact, but remember, if a bunch of us do these small things it adds up to a huge impact for the environment.The next time you are out shopping or dining and you decide that you need an ice cream, get it in a cone instead of one of those disposable cups. Yes, the cone is a few more calories, but now you do not have to be guilty about those extra calories. You can eat the cone for the sake of the environment. Small sacrifice but one that you can feel good about.
Of course, if you are dining at a restaurant and are offered an ice cream dessert, you can ask for a dish but that dish does have to be washed in hot water, and often with chemicals, so the cone is still a great idea.
