5 Easy Ways To Make A Green Home on Earth Day

Every year we take a day to celebrate the Earth and all the good things it has to offer, while cutting back on the things we do to harm it. With that in mind, here are some extremely easy ways to do your part this Earth Day:

  1. Purchase or remember your reusable tote bags
  2. Go the whole day without using your car. Take public transportation, walk or just stay home!
  3. Eat a meal of locally sourced food and avoid beef. This will greatly reduce your carbon impact.
  4. Have a picnic with your grandkids. To promote being outside, The Nature Conservancy is encouraging everyone to eat a meal on a park bench, picnic table or a bed sheet in a field.
  5. Swap out your traditional light bulbs for CFLs

It’s a busy weekend with the holidays going on. If you take a couple of these easy steps to make a green home this weekend, you will be doing great work for the Earth! Remember, it’s the only one we have!
