Donor Profile - Maureen McEntire
THANK YOU to Maureen McEntire from Hartsburg, Missouri who sent in her donation along with her thoughts on how to help Missouri and all the Earth. If only more people talked the talk and walked the walk.
(Maureen’s handwritten letter is reprinted below.)
We try to do whatever we can, in our small way, to not impact our world too much.
There are so many ways, however small, that w can all do our best to help out. These should be encouraged, so folks don’t feel so overwhelmed by the bigger picture.
• Recycle every thing
possible
• Turn your thermostat down in winter and up in summer – wear more
or less clothing as needed.
• When driving, combine all you errands into as few trips as possible,
and take a friend or neighbor with you.
• A lot of biodegradable and organic cleaners and foods cost more. But
not all of them. Buy safely whenever you can. Check the label!
• Buy at the local Farmers Market. Support the family farm!
• When buying new light bulbs, get the super energy efficient ones. They
cost more initially, but not in the long run.
• Hang out your cloths and bedding in the fabulous fresh air we still
enjoy.
• Take quicker showers and install “water saver” shower heads.
• Turn off lights and stop opening your fridge all the time. (The Best
Diet!)
• STOP! THINK! & THINK AGAIN!!
We can all help. All the
money and even good health, mean nothing, if we don’t have a good place
to live and enjoy them.
Thank you,
M. & D. McEntire
