Celebrate Earth Day. Take the Pledge.
Today is Earth Day, though many of you may have participated in various Earth Day events this weekend. I was at Raleigh Court with my trusty RIDE Solutions display (if you weren't there you missed a free CFL). But today's the real thing. What better way to celebrate than by taking a whole bunch of pledges?
Well, how about two?
Energy Star, building off their Change a Light campaign,
has their own pledge and, of course, a number of tips outlining simple steps you can take to increase energy efficiency in your home.
Nearest to my heart is the
Clean Commute Day pledge. We're just starting to build momentum - already we're outstripping last year's pledge rate and we've still got three weeks to go. Take the pledge to carpool, bike, walk, take the bus or telecommute on May 16 and be an important part of improving regional air quality, as well as saving money! If you're the Facebook type, you can participate through our
Facebook event and invite friends to join you in the effort. We're even
on MySpace!
We get around. By carpool, of course.
