What can you do to help clean up the earth?

Earth day is 2 days away how do i celebrate earth day and what can i do to help the environment?

  • I wanna start by by buying small solar panels so that i can watch tv play games and all that runs and need electricities and put it out side my window and even charge batteries. ...show more

  • Answer:

    Well...solar panels are good, but I am guessing that could also be expensive. Try out some of the little things....if everyone did some of these little things it would make a huge difference. First, don't buy bottled water. Use tap water...if your city doesn't have the best water invest in a filter. But bottled is not the answer. Use cloth napkins and real plates. Convience unfortunately often creates more trash. Buy those reusable grocery bags at the store. At the very least use paper and not plastic. Public transportation if possible?? Plant a tree!!!! If needed, update to more energy efficient appliances. Compost....here is a link to some help: http://www.self.com/livingwell/articles/2008/03/0324green_special2 The list could go on and on and on, but I think one of the most important ones is really simple....talk to your friends...get them to change a few of thier daily "un-green" routines. Don't get me wrong.....I am by no means a crazy eco-friendly person. With 2 kids, a full time job, a house, a hubby.....you sometimes do what is convienient and that is often times not the best for the environment, but I do realize the importance of not abusing the earth. Let's all try and be more aware of how decisions we make effect our earth and all try to do our part in making it better!!!

Usually the first step is to plant a tree (ideally you should find out what kind of tree grows best in your area and which helps the local bird/animal population). Some people make nature crafts at home like bird feeders and whatnot, usually people try to use things that would generally be thrown away. Many also take the opportunity to recycle and/or donate things or at least get recycling ins for future recycle. Try to wear earth colors or buy clothing from companies whose profits go to the environment. And try to make your friends/family/co-workers/etc. more aware of the environment .

Take your own bags to the grocery store don't use plastic. Plastic is slow to break down in a landfill. It will out live you.

Drive less Install a water restrictor in your showers and consider using less water when you shower by turning the water off while you are washing your hair. Don't run the AC unless you have to Dry your clothes on a line

I think its a good idea, try turning off everything in your house, don't drive, and pick up litter around your area. That's what I am doing.

I'm not using plastic or paper grocery bags anymore. I'm sick of seeing them blowing around on the roadside and in our waters. I'm also going around the house and making sure I'm not using electricity that is hidden, such as vcr's, dvd's. stereos, phone rechargers, etc. Either pull the plug or use a strip that can be turned off. I also bought one of those floor steamers so I only use steam (water) to clean my hard surface floors instead of chemicals. I've replaced all of my light bulbs with those energy efficient ones about 10 years ago. I'm still baffled at how many people run the water while brushing their teeth.
