OK guys, this is an important day for all of us, and it's easy to play. Today, as some of you may know, is Earth Day where we celebrate our awareness for a healthy and sustainable environment. We all love clean air, clean streets, and clean water right? Good. 'Cause I do too, and we weren't seeing eye to eye we'd have a problem.
Here's a few things I've found that you can do, and in most cases it'll take as long as your favorite Hot Pocket to get cooked.
-Have you ever heard of your Carbon Footprint? Go to this website here to figure what it's all about, and how you can offset your emissions.
-If you've got a PC, you can download this cool Google Energy Saver Gadget that helps you save energy by minimizing your PC's power consumption when it's not actively in use.
-Walk, if possible, to a destination that you'd normally drive to. And say hello to fellow walkers with a smile, we like that.
-If walking is out of the question, dust off that old bike or skateboard. I'm sure they miss you anyway. Low-impact transportation, this is key!
-Encourage your co-workers to use mugs instead of disposable cups.
-Convert your home light bulbs to CFL's (compact fluorescent light). They actually last longer than the standard incandescent bulb. You'll end up saving CO2 release, and money to boot!
-Turn off those lights you don't need, and give those 24/7 computers a break also. Unplugging those cell phone charges make a difference, too!
-Use recycled products. In a lot of cases they look and feel cooler than the original.
-Use reusable shopping bags when you go shopping.
Those are just a few things we can do together to help make our world a more enjoyable one, for us and our future.
