10 simple ways you can save the world in a day:1-Take out the mail
Remove yourself from junk mail lists. Believe it or not, 100 million trees are felled each year to produce junk mail.
2-Crack a light bulb joke
No joke: If every household replaced one lightbulb with a compact fluorescent bulb, it would be the equivalent of eliminating the pollution from 1 million cars.
3-Watch the stars
Using appliances carrying the Energy Star can save the average family $400 per year in energy bills.
4-Locate organic produce
Use the LocalHarvest map of organic food producers to pinpoint farmers markets and producers of environmentally friendly, locally grown food.
5-Teach a child
Invest in our future by teaching kids the importance of Earth Day. Find fun ways to get children involved.
6-Park your car
Carpool or take public transportation to work once a week, and walk or ride a bike for short trips. Don't forget to celebrate Carfree Day.
7-Make yourself at home
Find an environmental group, volunteer in your community, and donate your unwanted but usable items.
8-Recycle that purchase
Spare the environment by recycling your old mobile phone or PC, after erasing your personal data.
9-Pull out the plastic
If every plastic bottle were recycled, landfills would be 2 billion tons lighter. Reusable bottles and water filtration systems make an even bigger difference.
10-Use your imaginiation
Take a closer look at what you're throwing away--it could have creative potential. View artwork made from discarded materials for inspiration. Then, make your own masterpiece.
