Earth Day - Environmental Tips
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, it now includes events coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network in more than 193 countries.
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to conserve natural resources and landfill space.
Volunteer
Volunteer for cleanups in your community. You can get involved in protecting your watershed, too.
Educate
When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources.
Conserve Water
The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.
Choose Sustainable
Learn how to make smart seafood choices at www.fishwatch.gov.
Shop Wisely
Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.
Use Long-Lasting Light Bulbs
Energy-efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also, flip the light switch off when you leave the room!
Plant a Tree
Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.
Don't Send Chemicals into Our Waterways
Choose non-toxic chemicals in the home and office.
