If all you are going to do is shut off your lights and or your tank for an hour once a year then you are kidding your self into believing that you are on board with the concept.
Oh ya you probably believe that buying carbon credits to offset your SUV are also helping.
Come on folks it is away more acceptable to just change your habits.
Turning off lights when you leave the room.
Put a timer on your bathroom fan to turn it off 15 minutes after you leave the room. Turn your heat down a degree and wear a sweater as a way of life. Walk to the corner store or walk your kids to school. Take a conscious look for those electronic vampires we have in our homes today and shut them off. I read that 10% of your electrical consumption is through electronic vampires.
This is what Earth Day should be. An annual check up as to how you are contributing to the success of reducing your carbon foot print, on reducing your waste of energy and your contribution to a more sustainable future.
