10 Earth Day Tips

Here are 10 easy things you can do today for Earth Day.

  • Buy Organic Produce - local farmers are best, but buying organic at the store is fine too.
  • Plant A Tree - run by your local garden center, buy a tree, and put it in the ground (Bonus: water helps trees grow)
  • Recycle - if the place you are doesn't support recycling, just keep the bottle or trash and carry it with you until you have access to a recycling bin. You can even recycle electronics.
  • Donate - pop a check in the mail or go online and donate what you can to an organization.
  • Bike It - ride your bike somewhere, even just to the store down the street.
  • Upgrade - get new compact fluorescent  bulbs, re-usable shopping bags, or anything that will keep you from consuming energy.
  • Check your Tires - by keeping your pressure equal in tires, you can get better gas mileage, and thus produce less emissions.
  • Make it a Big Deal - just by making it a big deal at work or school today you can get people interested and build the enthusiasm.
  • Sweat/Chill - turn off your heating and air unit today. Yep, just let it get cold or warm... save a little energy.
  • Get Out - even if it's raining or snowing out, get outdoors and enjoy the world. You'll appreciate it and will want to protect it all the more.

Enjoy Earth Day everyone!
