Earth911

Happy Earth Day! Today's website is called Earth911.org. It is there to help inform people about today's Earth issues, such as global warming, and how everyone can help to slow it down. You can search for local activities and information by entering your zip code. Earth911 also provides tips and helpful information for living green in your house. You can start small there. There are also lots of other links throughout the website that lead to similar helpful resources to use. This is a very informative website to help you help the Earth and the environment.
Here is another tip for living green:

Change your light bulbs! Use compact fluorescent light bulbs instead (also known as CFLs). They save a lot of energy, you will notice it on your electricity bill, and they last between 8,000 to 15,000 hours, compared to ordinary light bulbs that last 750 - 1000 hours.





Yes, I saw this on Friday's Oprah show as well.

Quoted from her site, Oprah.com:

GE Energy Smart bulbs use 70 to 75 percent less energy than incandescent light bulbs and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. For example, by using a 26-watt compact fluorescent light bulb—equivalent to a 100-watt incandescent light bulb—users can save up to $59 on energy costs over the life of the bulb. Saving energy saves money and is better for the environment.

See, there are tons of things you can do to help out, and it's not really that hard! It's time to stand up and do something, if everyone helped out just a little, the results would be HUGE.
