Ever wonder why there are so many people polluting the earth? Ever say to yourself; hey, I wish I could do more to help the environment. Have you ever thought about trying to help out the earth but never really did it? Well, here are some pretty easy and nifty ideas for that green-earth junkie inside you.

Turn off your computer

By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2 than a commuter would drive to and from work in one day.

Ride your bike or carpool

Obviously, you are creating less CO2 which will help the ozone.

Grow a garden

Even by simply growing some plants in your kitchen will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.

Buy local groceries

It creates less impact on the environment. PLUS, you're supporting your local farmers.

Recycle

You had to see this one coming. But you have NO idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.

Don't run the water while brushing

It saves you money and helps the water sources.

Open the blinds

Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.

Rechargeable batteries

You have no idea how much it takes to dispose batteries. Do yourself a favor. Save some money and some energy.
