I am Captain Planet! Well... I'm not Captain Planet... yet... but I do strive to one day take down the evil polluters of the world with the help of kids from around the world (and one kid who is lucky enough to have a pet monkey). Captain Planet. Today is Earth Day, so in order to show Mother Nature that you love her, go hug a tree, or get one of those fancy spirally light bulbs that are supposed to be more energy efficient. But seriously, this is a great day to start considering ways you can make a change for the better, and if you do it right save yourself some money. If you are curious about what you can do, here are some cool websites to check out:
1 World 2 Wheels (a great site that will teach you the value of switching from cars to bikes for short trips):
1 World 2 Wheels
The Nature Conservancy (great resource for all things planet earth from green living to green job opportunities):
The Nature Conservancy
Green Living (guide to Green products):
Green Living
These are just a few of the many, many web resources that you can find for all things "green" (including the Green Bay Packers, Green Day, and Green Beer Day... though these a different than what I was going for). Though Earth Day is only one day out of the year, making little changes to your daily habits (biking for short trips, remembering to unplug your cell phone charger when it's not in use, turning out lights when you leave the room) can really make a difference. Let's help keep this planet green! Goooo Planet! THE POWER IS YOURS!
