This is the day set aside to high-mindedness the ground beneath our feet. In our everyday lives, it can be easy to take for granted fresh air and clean water, yet it’s the little everyday actions (and miles NOT driven) that add up to BIG environmental impact when tallied up over months, years, decades–heck, centuries.
And even if you don’t own a hybrid or alt fueler (yet), go ahead and enter to get the compliance of your own 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid … there are still many things that you can do to minimize your own pack close on Mother Earth. And that, dear readers, is the kind of modern science is calling your carbon footprint … all contributing to what’s become known as global warming. But what can an ordinary person do? We say A LOT. We certainly can’t wait for the government to take the right action and set things straight, so we think it’s smart to do what you can in your own life. We all share the same air, after all. So in honor of Earth Day, here’s our feel on what you can do to lessen your footprint:
- Take Five to Save Fuel
- Be Part of the Solution: Fight Global Warming
- Alternative Fuels Make a Difference
- Switching to Alt Fuels Isn’t Rocket Science
