Today is the day people bring awareness to what we can do to protect the earth and the environment we live in. Some people will be spending the day planting trees and flowers, while others will be discussing things we can do to save energy and resources.

One of the things I do on a regular basis is use highly efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs. These can last for years and use a third of the energy of regular bulbs. In fact, they actually produce more light. I love them and they're in every room in my house. Expect to pay a bit more for these bulbs than your traditional light bulbs, but since they last a longer time and use less energy, it's worth every penny. Does anyone have any other tips to follow during Earth Day?

I know this is a late response but below are some things you could do any day. It should not be necessary to do it only one time per year. You could incorporate these into your daily routine.


* Change your car’s air filter
* Replace your light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs
* Carpool, ride a bike or walk to work
* Green your lunch
* Lower the temperature in your refrigerator
* Wash your laundry in cold water
* Buy an iTune, Plant a Tree
* Gather all your old electronics and recycle them
* Donate your old toiletries to a homeless shelter
* Take a short shower
* Walk down your street and pick up trash (recycle what is appropriate)
* Eat all organic meals today
* Take your name off mailing lists to reduce junk mail, or use a service like Green Dimes
* Unplug your appliances (even if they’re not being used they still consume energy)
* Plant a tree
* Don’t run the dishwasher unless it’s completely full

Good Luck
