Every little bit is a step to help save the earth.

Following are few of the "little bits"
that can make "Huge Impacts".


  • Don't use bottled water - Instead of bottled water get a reusable container to carry water. Also you can get a filter to make your home tap taste more like bottled water. It is definitely more cost efficient. Also you save the environment from the waste created by these water bottles.

  • Switch To Fluorescent Bulbs - If every house in the United States changed all of the light bulbs in their house, that would be equivalent to taking one million cars off the streets.

  • Recycle Glass - If you do not recycle this, it will take a million years to decompose.

  • Use Matches instead of lighters - Lighters are usually considered disposable so they will most likely end up in land fills. You can use the cardboard matches which are much more eco-friendly because they are made of recycled material.
  • Pay your Bills Online - If every house in the World did this then we would save millions trees every year. You will be saving lots of traffic plus time plus gain lot many other comforts.

  • Get a reusable bag - You can't recycle plastic bags, instead get yourself a reusable bag so that you won't have to worry about carrying your necessities. Try using lesser plastic bags. We all know how harmful these bags are.

  • Plant a Tree - It's good for the air, can keep you cool, and can increase your property value. At least plant one tree pointing to which you can later on proudly say "..that's the tree that i planted some year back.."

  • Buy Local Produce - Consider how much energy it takes for produce from china or any other country to come here. If you have the option to buy local, do it. Also this give employement to local people.

  • Walk or Ride Your Bike When you can - If you have to go somewhere close consider riding your bike or walking there instead of your car. It's better on the environment and healthier.
