7 Ways to celebrate earth day Earth day is celebrated on April 22 every year, and we wanted to share some easy, inexpensive ways to help you become more eco-friendly.
1. Greenify your laundry - Some common fabrics like lycra, cotton and nylon don’t need to be washed in hot water, and since 90% of the energy used by washing machines is used to heat the water, you can save a lot of energy by turning the dial to cold. Not to mention the money you will save on a lower electric bill.
2. Plant a tree - We all know how trees help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, clean pollution, and provide homes for wildlife, so why not plant one.
3. Ride your bike - Winter is over and spring is upon us. Use your bike to commute to work or school and to run errands.
4. Say no to plastic - Buying bottled water is a luxury that
good quality stainless steel water bottle and don’t leave home without it.
5. Pay bills online - Paying bills online is about more than saving money on stamps. Snail mail has a negative environmental impact that can easily be changed. Signup to an online bill-paying program with your bank, and any other company that you can.
6. Recycle, and get paid for it! - You can get some extra change for recycling your old electronics, especially cellphones. Instead of tossing them out, participate in an electronics recycling program.
7. Feed the birds - Make a bird feeder for your garden. Not only will this encourage the local bird population, but you
no one can afford right now, especially the planet. Close
can use objects that would have otherwise been thrown
to 90% of all plastic bottles wind up in landfills. Invest in a
away to create a beautiful work of art for your backyard.
