Earth Day is coming up one week from today and I want to know what you are doing to help save our environment. Leave a comment or call me during the morning show at 1-800-668-1550. I would love to share and hear your stories about how you are making our world a better place to live! Give me a shout or leave me a comment below because all this week we’re going to discuss the little things that can make a world of difference!
Here are a few little tips to keep in mind as we gear up for Earth Day
Plant a tree that will shade your house as well as reduce the need for air conditioning.
Participate in your community’s recycling program and recycle all you can.
Combine short car trips, or use a bicycle or walk instead.
Improve your home’s energy efficiency by adding insulation and caulking, and regularly cleaning heating and air conditioning filters.
Compost yard trimmings and food waste in a backyard compost bin. Don’t bag grass clippings - either leave them on the lawn or compost them.
When buying paint, cleaners or other chemicals, buy only what you need and use what you buy.
Practice water conservation - install a low flow shower head or make an Earth Day pledge to take shorter showers.
Use compact fluorescent lights to conserve up to 75 percent of the energy consumed by incandescent bulbs.
Purchase durable goods and choose products made with recycled materials and with minimal or recyclable packaging.
Reduce the amount of unwanted junk mail - have your name removed from mailing lists.
Earth Day is a bonus code that will be good until April 25th!!!! Do your part and be green
