This Sunday, April 22 is Earth Day. All over the world, people will be participating in activities to help make our earth sustainable for many generations to come. My friends and I will be doing our part tomorrow, but there are many ideas that you can implement both short-term and long-term to reduce your negative impact on the environment.
The Idea: Implement one or all of these ideas into your life. Send along to your friends so they can do so as well.
When eating out, eat at green or eco-friendly restaurants. Don't worry, they're not all vegan; they're establishments that have made a commitment to reduce their emissions, recycle and contribute positively to the environment. To see if there are any such restaurants in your area, do a Google search for "green or eco-friendly restaurants" or you can also go to DineGreen.com
Take public transportation or carpool whenever possible, or share a cab to reduce emissions and conserve gas. If you're in NYC and want to share a cab to the airport, visit Hitchsters.com
Save energy by switching from inefficient incandescent lightbulbs. To learn more about energy-efficient lightbulb stands, visit the EnergyStar website.
The Cost: what you'd be spending anyway.
The Benefit: Every little bit helps!
Happy Earth Day!
