Tomorrow is Earth Day and Arbor Day is on Thursday. In addition to planting a tree, my challenge for you is to begin thinking of ways you can help keep our earth green and clean. If everyone made one change in their life in an effort to go more green, think of the difference that would make.

Perhaps your change can be something as small as using a reusable Nalagene or Sigg bottle instead of a disposable plastic bottle. It may seem like an insignificant change, but consider these facts (Info is from Earth911 and Reusable Bags):

-8 out of 10 water bottles become landfill waste
-Plastic bottles can take up to 1000 years to BEGIN to decompose once buried
-If everyone in NYC gave up water bottles for one week, they would save 24 million bottles from being land filled. One month on the same plan would save 112 million bottles, and one year would save 1.328 billion bottles from going into the landfill
-Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. That's about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle
So take minute to think about the changes you can make in your life to become more green, and realize that you really truly are making a difference.
