Keep up the green work! Just because Earth Day has passed doesn't mean you shouldn't continue to
do your part to sustain a happy and healthy environment. Here are a few
great tips that we compiled to help you celebrate Earth Day
all year round!
Ride A Bike: Not only does bike riding help keep you
physically fit, but it does wonders for the environment as well! Leave
your fuel-burning car parked in the driveway and hop on your fuel-free,
self-powered alternative mode of transportation. Yes, we know that for some,
a morning bicycle commute to work is a lot to ask, but what about those weekend
trips to see friends or visit the grocery store? Even riding your bike
once a week (though we hope you choose to ride more often!) will make an impact
on the environment.
Eat Local: On the same wavelength as bike riding,
eating local helps cut down on air pollution. How, you ask? By
eating local you're purchasing from local farmers, so your food has a shorter
distance to travel from the farm to your supermarket, and eventually to your
plate. (Bonus points if you pick it up on your bike!) Short travel
distances mean less time on a tractor-trailer that’s emitting fumes during the
entire voyage.
Replace The Plastic: Plastic is not biodegradable, and therefore
will never break down. Instead of grabbing that store-bought bottle of
water before work every morning, invest in a reusable water bottle and leave it
at your desk. That way, you can refill and re-fuel all day long, at no
expense to the environment!
Improve Your Green Thumb: Fill those tree beds,
liven up your front yard, or start a vegetable and herb garden in a window box. Why? Plants absorb carbon dioxide and toxins in the air and give off oxygen
instead. The more plants on earth, the better!
Follow these four simple
steps to help keep our environment green, and always remember to reduce, reuse
and recycle!
