Earth Day Canada

In keeping with the Earth Day theme, here are the top 10 actions you can do to help the environment.

1. Park it - leave the car at home for a day.
2. Shut down - turn off lights, computer, TV when not in use.
3. Where's the beef? - eat meat-free once a week.
4. Eat it - choose organically and locally grown foods in season
5. Let it rot - start composting either through the green bin program or with a composter in your backyard.
6. Don't let it idle - turn off your car if stopped for more than 10 seconds.
7. Keep your eye on the temperature - set thermostat above room temperature in summer and below in winter.
8. Bright ideas - use compact fluorescent bulbs.
9. Don't dump it - use your blue box.
10. Tell someone - brag about your green activities and encourage them to follow suit.
