small changes, make big results

The concept of saving just a little or making one small change can do a real lot for the environment if it is done by everyone. If you make one small change a day it can really add up throughout the course of a month, a year, or a lifetime. If everyone does this then it becomes an enormous amount. A good example of this is napkin usage. Each day the average person uses 6 napkins per day (2,200) per year, if everyone uses one less napkin per day we would keep more than a billion pounds from entering landfills per year. There are millions of examples like this. Just one less napkin a day could save billions of garbage, and if this was done with many things, just imagine how much this could do for the environment. I have been trying to make changes like this, doing things like using less napkins, not using lids, etc. If just are class did this for the year we could do a lot for the environment.
