1 Replace your light bulbs with energy star bulbs. This simple step can reduce your carbon footprint by 450 pounds per year.
2 Plant a tree. Trees are Mother Nature's all-in-one air conditioner and heater.
3 Celebrate Earth Day with your friends and family, generating awareness and educate the next generation.
4 Buy local, organic food. Buying organic saves the Earth because you aren't adding harmful chemicals into our eco-system (not to mention they aren't going into your body). Read funkimama's article on a list of organic food suppliers in Hong Kong here.
5 Ride an Optibike. According to the Earth Day web site, by the year 2030 the world will consume 47% more oil than it did in 2003.
6 Use natural, non-chemical based cleaning agents for general cleaning. Funkimama previously wrote about natural cleaning alternatives, click here to find out more.
