Pay it Forward this Earth Day
 Here it is, already Earth Day, and you've forgotten to pick out a gift for the planet. What could the Earth want that it doesn't have already? Before you rush out to buy it a commemorative figurine, remember that there are lot of things you can do for the Earth without even leaving the house. (Or at least without making a special trip.) When making your Earth Day gift-giving plans, remember 'reduce, reuse, recycle.' We all know that slogan, but I think many of us associate it most strongly with “recycle.” But reduce and reuse can have the biggest impact. So think about some of these gift ideas: - Replace your incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs
- B.Y.O.B (Bring Your Own Bag) - Start using reusable bags when shopping
- Contact all your utilities and banks and opt to use email billing instead of getting your bills in mail
- Turn off your computers and unplug all appliances when not using them.
- Recycle your old computers and electronics. You can visit epa.gov to find out how.
Every little bit counts :)
