Earth Day 2009
Today is Earth Day. Act for the Earth, no matter how small:
1. Plant a tree
2. Swap out an incandescent light bulb for a compact florescent light bulb (go to: http://www.ewg.org/greenlightbulbs to find long-lived models- some inferior CFL bulbs are on the market).
3. Stop using bleach (or use less)- try an alternative, gentle cleaner.
4. Open your windows and air out your house.
5. Make a promise to let your house be a little warmer this year when AC season starts.
6. Buy local produce at your local farm stand, even just once a month!
7. Walk or bike instead of drive for a few short trips here and there.
8. Feed the birds!
9. Get rid of a patch of grass at a time and plant hardy, native plants. Grass uses immense amounts of water and chemicals.
10. Take a walk with your family, equipped with trash bags and clean up your neighborhood!

Very good suggestions - things that we all are capable of doing.
