- Happy Earth Month
Even though Earth Month is wrapping up, these are a few simple things that are still relevant. And don't believe the hype—the little things really do matter. All you've got to do is start here....
- Keep recycling and reduce plastic use if possible—still one of the things we can each do to have an enormous collective impact.
- Change those lightbulbs—cfl’s are still better—the mercury comes in very tiny amounts, our energy use comes in very large amounts.
- Think about your spending patterns—buy less for just for 2 weeks to start—see what happens—remember The Story of Stuff? Consumption has big impacts.
- Eat more organic, seasonal, vegetarian, local or any variation on the theme if you are able&#!51;decrease pesticide use, support organic farmers and try eating lower on the food chain.
- Change your commute—use your car less, take the 2 mile challenge or find other ways to decrease your CO2 impact.
