What Can You Do Right Now?

Set sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only - not the street or sidewalk.

 

Use the microwave to cook small meals. (It uses less power than an oven.)

 

Purchase "Green Power" for your home's electricity. (Contact your power supplier to see where and if it is available.)

 

Scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher; wash only full loads.

 

Cut back on air conditioning and heating use if you can.

 

Turn off appliances and lights when you leave the room.

Donate cell phones to plant trees

11:30 AM CDT on Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Earth 911

Cell phone recycling company iRecyclePhones.com has partnered with American Forests to plant a tree for each cell phone donated starting Earth Day, April 22.

You can print a free shipping label and recycle cell phones of all makes and models. There is no limit to how many phones you can donate. Each donation will result in one tree planted in a location in need of environmental restoration, such as areas damaged by wildfire.

If you’re looking to drop off used phones for recycling, find a location using Earth 911’s recycling locator.
