Go Green for Earth Day

Go Green for Earth Day

It’s Earth Day! Celebrate by taking steps to go green and make a difference today and every day.

Here are some tips courtesy of earthday.org that can help you go green, save money and help the planet.

 

  • Use environmentally-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products.
  • Replace inefficient incandescent light bulbs with efficient CFLs or LEDs. Reduce your carbon footprint by 450 pounds a year.
  • Carpool, ride your bike, use public transportation or drive an electric or hybrid car. Reduce your carbon footprint by one pound for every mile you do not drive.
  • Keep your tires properly inflated and get better gas mileage. Reduce your carbon footprint 20 pounds for each gallon of gas saved.
  • Change your car’s air filter regularly.
  • Teleconference instead of traveling. If you fly five times per year, those trips are likely to account for 75% of your personal carbon footprint.
  • Stop using disposable plastics, especially single-use plastics like bottles, bags and straws.
  • Recycle paper, plastic and glass. Reduce your garbage by 10% and your carbon footprint by 1,200 pounds a year.
  • Donate your old clothes and home goods instead of throwing them out. When you need something, consider buying used items.
  • Use cloth towels instead of paper ones.
  • Change your paper bills to online billing. You’ll be saving trees and the fuel it takes to deliver your bills by truck.
  • Use reusable bottles for water, and reusable mugs for coffee.
  • Bring reusable bags when you shop.
  • Pack your lunch in a reusable bag.
  • Take a shorter shower and use a water-saving shower head.
  • Fix leaky faucets and shower-heads.
  • Run your dishwasher only when it’s full to save water and energy.
