Earth Day, designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment, marks its 40th anniversary today. Earth Day was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson on April 22, 1970 and is observed every April 22nd on virtually every country on Earth.
If you'd like to join the millions of people around the world who are making small but important changes to help sustain Mother Earth, try these tips, courtesy of www.earthday.net:
• Use energy-efficient light bulbs, which result in the emission of less carbon dioxide (CO2) than regular light bulbs
• Buy recycled products - and recycle your trash. In addition, try to purchase products that use minimal packaging
• Eat locally farmed foods that are grown organically, as these are free of pesticides and less harmful to the earth
• Consider a hybrid car, drive less, and get regular tune-ups - all can reduce CO2 levels and improve fuel efficiency
Happy Earth Day!
