Ten Things To Do On Earth Day


So it's Earth Day today!! And you may not care, but then again you may. And you may also be wondering what you can do to pitch in and start helping our planet become a better place to live. After all, it is our only home. And just like you want to keep your house clean, you also want to keep this planet clean. So here are 10 things you can do today and maybe everyday to start making a difference.


  1. Carpool- yep just catch a ride with your friend or coworker and help pump a little less exhaust and fumes in the atmosphere.
  2. Cleaning out your closet or garage-donate, donate, donate. Or have a huge garage sale. Either way, declutter!
  3. Plant a tree- help put more O2 in the air and plant a tree, bush, or plant. Even flowers, especially ones that attract honey bees!
  4. Exchange your light bulbs for energy efficient ones- it saves tons of energy and could save you money too!
  5. Cut back on paper by paying bills via internet.
  6. Ride your bike- if you live close to work or school, why not ride your bike. Good exercise, saves on gas, and good for the air!
  7. Cleanup- grab some friends or go solo and pick a place to clean up. You can even adopt a highway!
  8. Open the windows- if it's not too hot and not too cold, open the windows and save on heat and air.
  9. Go outside and play- cut off that tv, which will save energy, and get out and play catch or frisbie or whatever and enjoy yourself!
  10. Recycle- if you've been recycling, take your recyclables to the recycle center or start recycling today. A lot of trash companies are offering recycling now too!
So there you go! I hope you can do some or all on this list and help make your life better and help make this planet a little better too!
