Earth Day: Ten Easy Ideas To Help Save the Earth

So, how did you celebrate Earth Day? I think of Earth Day as an all year long event. Here are some easy ideas to help the environment all year long and without much effort:

Instead of bottled water, try using a filtered water pitcher. By doing that you're reducing the land fill.

Provide a simple bird feeder and a bird bath in the backyard for a habitat sanctuary where birds can thrive.

Bring your own grocery bags to the grocery store to save on plastic bags.

Pull weeds instead of using herbicide.

Try replacing one household cleaner with either baking soda or vinegar. They work great!

When you purchase a six pack of soda, be sure to cut the plastic holder before discarding. You just helped a fish or mammal not get caught.

Use old magazines to fold your own envelopes.

Find a new use for something you're about to throw away (A two liter soda bottle into a purse? Yep.)

Turn off the water while brushing your teeth. Just think if everyone did that!

Finally, plant something in your yard. Growing something like lavender, rosemary, or mint is a breath of fresh air for us all.
