Happy Earth Day!!

Today is Earth Day. It is confusing sometimes to know what you can do to help. Especially with all of the different magazines that are coming out with Green issues. Many of the suggestions in the issues are pretty expensive, like $2,000 coffee tables. Here are some things some normal people can do today:

  • Buy energy saving light bulbs.
  • Buy canvas grocery shopping bags and keep them in your car so you do not forget them. Most grocery stores are selling them at the check out counter, including Target. If you would like some go here , here and here .
  • Make your toilet use less water by dropping a big rock or brick in your toilet tank. The object displaces water and makes your tank hit the fill line faster, therefore using less water.
  • Walk or ride a bike today.
  • Sign up for online bill pay. Not getting your statements in the mail not only saves tons of paper, but protects your privacy.
These are just some suggestions to help you. Happy Earth day.
