Today is Earth Day. Earth Day is the birth anniversary of the modern environmental movement, which started in 1970.

Are you concerned about the environment but don’t know how to you can make a difference? Here you will find different ways you can contribute to make our world a better place to live. This site is about thinking green and acting accordingly. Some ideas are:

1. Use

Use green and eco-friendly products. Even if you do not use all green products, use wisely and do not waste unnecessarily.

2. Reuse

Preserve plastic. Isn't it a weird statement? If you have to use plastic, use it and re-use it as long as you can. Let it wear out beyond use before you dispose of it. For example, everyone gets a polythene (plastic) bag for take out lunch. You can reuse the bag the next time you go shopping. Do not throw it out. If you need some motivation, here it is. Shoprite is a store that pays you 2 cents every time you reuse their plastic and paper bags and 5 cents for any non-disposable (like canvas) bag you bring to carry your groceries at Shoprite (Bag Re-Use Program).

3. Recycle

When there comes a time that you cannot use a product any longer, find a way to make a better outcome of it rather than the landfill. Something that you don't need anymore can be used by someone else. You can easily sell it to someone for less than what you paid. However, if you can afford to let it go, then donate it. Let someone else reuse it. There are many websites that let you post items to sell or donate.
