WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOUR EARTH LATELY?

Since today's Well-World Wednesday just so happens to coincide with EARTH DAY 2009, here are a couple of things you can do TODAY that will have an immediate impact on our environment:

EAT LESS MEAT
  • raising livestock is one of the most significant contributors to a long list of environmental problems from deforestation to pollution
  • no need to leap all the way to vegan, but just cutting back meat portions to 3 oz (about the size of a deck of cards) will help tremendously
CARE FOR YOUR CAR (if you can't do without it)
  • regular maintenance helps with your car's fuel economy
  • and it also reduces the amount of waste and pollution coming out of it
GO AHEAD AND AIR YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY!
  • air out laundry to dry whenever possible
  • wash all laundry in cold water
  • maximize load capacity to maximize efficiency (water and energy)
HELP REPLANT THE RAINFORESTS 
  • for just $10 (click the Chip In button below)
  • from the comfort of your cushy sofa or non-eco-friendly office, even!



NEED A LITTLE INSPIRATION TO GET YOU MOVING TODAY?



Now, have at it, people!  Your planet's waiting.
