Today, Friday, April 22 marks the 41st anniversary of Earth Day. So in a DTBD salute to Mother Earth we should all do our part to lessen our carbon footprint – WASTE!

A college friend sent me a video of her son in school telling the world that “Everyday is Earth Day.” Take a look. It’s super cute and very funny. How can you make a difference today? Below are 3 EASY ways. In fact, you may already be making a big difference.

• Use online bill pay. Today, get online and change all statements to paperless and try using ePay with you financial institutions. Imagine less paper to sort through. TIP: Every 6 months, I download all my statements and back them up on a server.
• Bring your own shopping bags to the store. TIP: Leave a few bags in your car around the headrest to remind you to use them.
• Use earth-friendly household cleaners. Concentrated versions of your favorites lessen your carbon footprint.
