The Enterprising Moms

Today’s a big day … how will you celebrate in your life and in your work?

No plans yet? Opportunities to get involved abound!

Activities and resources for Earth Day and beyond

Earth Day events today and through the weekend in DC, MD and VA:

• Earth Day 2010 in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia
• Earth Day Network Upcoming Events
• Climate Rally in DC on April 25
• The Best Earth Day Events by Care2

A few easy things that you can do to make a difference

1. Adopt a new earth-friendly practice at home and add at least one new one each year (e.g., pitch the paper towels and napkins and use cloth instead; start a compost bin or pile; pack waste-free lunches; use your reusable shopping bags; or organize an informal neighborhood clean up).
2. Adopt a new earth-friendly practice at work (invest in a printer with two-sided printing capabilities, work with ”green” printers and vendors, buy earth-friendly products and services).
3. Participate in an Earth Day event, fair or rally … or organize one of your own!
4. Shop green products—special Earth Day discounts are everywhere. It’s a great time to try earth-friendly products.
5. Offer a discount on products and/or services that encourage earth-friendly living and working.
