Make Our World a Better Place on Earth Day 2014

Make Our World a Better Place on Earth Day 2014

Today is Earth Day 2014 so make sure you are recycling, planting, donating to an environmental cause, picking up trash in the community or thinking of ways to go “Green”. Just do something to help make our world a better place. 

Green Suggestions:

  • Take cans, bottles, glass to recycler
  • Take hazardous chemicals and electronic equipment to designated recycler.
  • Upgrade your home appliances to become more efficient; Water Heater, Stove, Washer & Dryer, Microwave, Dishwasher, Disposal, Refrigerator, HVAC, Solar Panels.
  • If you have an old  2nd refrigerator, turn it off and donate it.
  • Change your Light Bulbs to LED type.
  • Replace your old windows to newer double pane type.
  • Turn the lights out when you leave a room.
  • Turn off your computers at night. 
  • Turn AC off and instead open windows in the morning and late in afternoon.
  • Donate instead of throwing items in your trash that are reusable.
  • Buy "Organic" products for your yard.
  • Do not use harmful pesticides that will polute the soil and kill wildlife.
  • Plant a tree and do some gardening with the earth today
  • Leave any suggestions you have to make Earth Day a better world for all of us.

I don't remember in recent years and Earth Day arriving with such little fanfare.

Kristin- I'm glad to see more and more emphasis on maintaining our earth.  We do recycle, drive a Prius (love the mileage), and try not to leave such a huge footprint.  It's sad to see what a throwaway society we've become.

Hi Chris,

I am getting my backyard completed this week. I spotted a new hummingbird feeder and I'm going to hang it on a Sheppard's hook I saw this week. It has a bird on the top so I thought it would be so perfect. I love where I live as there is so many squirrels, cottontail's, birds everywhere and two bird nest in our eaves. I can tell you love nature too. Have fun planting your trees...good girl!

Hi Carla,

I use organic products too and have several recipes to make pesticides. I have boiled salt in hot water until it cools and put it in a water bottle and spray weeds. It takes about 5 days but they die off and usually don't come back. I like to wash my plants with shampoo and mouthwash in a sprayer. Smells good like a shower.

Hi Jill,

I think we should try to do it every day of the year and not just on April 22, 2014.

Hi Tammy,

Composting is a wonderful and totally green thing to do. I wish I had room to do it myself. I miss all the worms at my other house. Hope I will get some here soon.

Hi Jeff,

When I worked for the County, we had big events going and many would volunteer to plant the bedding plants. Now it seems like fewer events than before but the home improvement stores really cash in on the date.

Hi Kathy,

I really wanted a Prius but they had a shortage here. Wish I had bought one as they are so cute. We must all do what we can do to be more green.

Kristin, great suggestions that we can actually use to better our planet!  I always try to recycle whenever possible!  I'm just surprised you didn't make a comment about driving around in a Prius.

Hi Jack,

One of the earlier comments did comment they had a Prius. I was going to buy one but their was a lack of styles and colors when I bought my car 2 yrs ago so I just went with a smaller SUV instead. I try to recycle and make the world a better place anyway I can. Maybe my next car will be a Prius.
