Take the time to really think about the impact (footprint) that you leave on this earth.  At The Boulders Resort and Golden Door Spa, we take it seriously.  Check out some of the efforts taking place at The Boulders:  http://www.theboulders.com/green/

On Earth Day 2010, the Golden Door Spa will be giving the first 75 guests with spa services that day a re-usable canvas tote.  Its the Golden Door way of giving back!

Here are a few things that you can do at home to start living a greener lifestyle (no hard labor required).  Do you:

• take the time to recycle,
• purchase local foods rather than foods that need to be trucked into your area,
• take your shopping tote to the grocery store rather than having the bagger use all of the plastic bags,
• carry a re-usable water bottle rather than purchasing bottled water,
• turn off lights when you are not in that room,
• unplug electronics that are not in use and don’t need to be plugged in 24/7,
• save old, tattered t-shirts and towels that can be cut into rags for cleaning around the house to replace paper towels.

These are just a few simple ways that YOU can make a difference on a daily basis.  If we ALL took these simple steps a difference CAN be made.  A great resource to help YOU get living with the earth in mind is www.greenmatters.com  Find all kinds of information to help you live a cleaner, greener life.
