What can you do to save the planet?

Earth Day was created in 1970 by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson as a way to bring attention to the need to preserve the environment. It is officially celebrated on April 22, but should be observed all year round.

How energy efficient are you? What do you do to help conserve our Earth? Check out some of the links below, then before the end of class, write a post stating one thing you plan on doing to help save the planet! Don't forget your name!

There's a lot of good ideas on here. I hope you get a chance to read other people's responses to give you more ideas. Choose a few and when you've got those mastered, choose a few more. Start little, then grow your conservation efforts.

I also hope you do these things year round, not just on Earth Day!
