 Earth
Day... Every Day Ideas
Kids Ideas
- Trade books, magazines and newspapers with friends, relatives and
coworkers, or use the library.
- Share rides, or ride a bike to school to save energy.
- Donate when possible. Charities are always happy to accept your unwanted
but still usable items, such as clothing, furniture, eyeglasses, etc.
- Buy in bulk. Large sizes deliver more products with less packaging
waste, and are usually more economical.
- Pack a waste-free lunch. Put the drink, sandwich and chips in a reusable
container, in a reusable lunch bag.
- Take your own cloth bag to the grocery store, instead of using paper
and plastic bags.
- Do not use a grass catcher with your lawn mower. Leave the grass
clippings on the ground. As the clippings decay, they return nutrients
to the soil.
- Start a compost or vermicompost bin.
- Turn off the water faucet when brushing your teeth.
- Remember to turn off the lights or any other appliances when you
leave the room, or when you are not using them (examples: TV, radio,
computer, etc.)
