Happy Earth Day!
April 22, 2010
Today marks one of our favorite holidays, Earth Day, which is a day designed to inspire appreciation and awareness for the environment. If you haven't seen it yet, check out
today's doodle
in honor of the special day.
We thought we'd take this opportunity to share a few quick and simple ways you can be mindful of your environment today – and everyday!
1. Bike, walk, carpool, or use public transportation whenever possible.
2. Take stairs instead of the elevator.
3. Conserve energy by turning off lights and unplugging electronics when not in use.
4. Instead of printing, use
Google Docs
and go paperless!
5. Bring reusable bags when shopping.
6. Use non-toxic cleaning alternatives.
7. Opt for local produce.
8. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs.
9. Only run the dishwasher or washing machine when you have a full load.
10. Try composting your food waste and kitchen scraps.

Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Tips
