10 Ways to Impact the Planet on Earth Day
>> Apr 22, 2009
Today is Earth Day and you are in a unique position to impact our planet. Here are 10 simple ways that you can reduce your carbon footprint on Mother Earth right now.
- Refrain from printing anything for just one day.
- Have lunch delivered to the office for several employees, rather than everyone driving.
- Turn off your computer when you leave today.
- Do not buy anything in a plastic bottle, case or otherwise.
- Turn off the light in your office when you leave.
- Invest in a re-usable bag at the grocery store – these are actually very handy and some come with insulation to keep your groceries cold/hot.
- Recycle at least one item today.
- Take a shower, not a bath. A full bath requires 70 gallons of water. A shower requires 10-25.
- Replace light bulbs with energy-efficient bulbs – a little more expensive, but will save you on electric bills, too!
- Forward this email to others and spread the efficiency!
