HAPPY EARTH DAY!

THE EARTH BELONGS TO ALL OF US.

In honor of Earth Day, make a pledge to reduce your carbon footprint. Whether it's to use candles instead of light bulbs, walk instead of drive, be vegetarian for a week, don't let this day pass you by.

Here are some suggestions of pledges you can make:
  • I pledge to use public transportation, carpool, bike or walk to get to work/school for a total of XX days this week, instead of using my car.
  • I promise to use reusable coffee cups XX days this week.
  • I promise to eat one meal with locally-produced food XX days this week.
  • I promise to turn off and unplug my home computer when not in use.
  • I promise to reduce junk mail/paper waste by cancelling XX catalogue(s) I receive in the mail but never read.
  • I promise to recycle white and mixed paper this year/month/week.
  • I promise to take 2 minutes off my shower time XX times this week.
This is a good starting point, but by no means the [only] changes there are to make.

Now's the time.

GET YOUR GREEN ON.
