Happy Earth Day! Here are some tips to make the Earth a little better.

1. Skip driving… With summer in a couple months, skip the joy rides with friends and instead go on a walk or ride a bike.

2. Don’t be trashy… Keep it clean and pick up trash or litter in sight during the day. It only takes one person to make a change.

3. Old clothes for new clothes… Spring’s here and weathers getting warmer, meaning a new wardrobe for some people. Think of bringing those unwanted clothes to a store that gives money for them like Plato’s Closest. H&M offers a 15% coupon at their store to those who bring in a bag of used clothes.

4. Unplug… Unplug everyday necessities such as phone chargers, blowdryers, curling irons / straighteners, and not only save electricity, but money too.

5. Plastic isn’t pretty… Don’t just keep on buying new plastic water bottles at lunch. Reuse a plastic water bottle or buy a good one at a local store with cute colors on it. And while at the store, get a paper bag and not plastic.
