Good Deed of the Day #16

Do you have books you no longer want or need? Don't just throw them away. Do good deeds by donating those books to your local library or elder care facility. Everyone has books they no longer want or need, and someone else would love to read those books.

Good Deed of the Day #12
Today's good deed is to wait the two minutes it takes to shut down your computer because it makes a huge difference. According to change the world 9 to 5, one computer left on all day results in the emission of 1500 pounds of carbon dioxide in a year. It takes between 100-500 trees to absorb that much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Good Deed of the Day #10
It is very easy to hop into your car to go to work, run errands, etc, but take a minute to think first.

Consider walking; when you are going somewhere locally for an errand - not only are you saving the environment but you are also getting healthy. If you are going slightly further then catch on a bus or a train.

So don't just drive without thought, look for alternative methods

Thanks to Habonim Dror UK and Gary Sakol
