I believe that you can bring change through little and big steps. Big steps for those that like change, little steps for those that don't.

Like I mentioned before Earth Day has become as much of a marketing tools as it is a cause.
SInce it’s inception however (checkout the first poster here) many good things have come from it and organisations like the Earth Day Network (earthday.org) that grew out of that first Earth Day have done a lot of good things.
Even though April 22nd is the official Earth Day it is, in my opinion, important to look at the remaining 364 days of the year for actions that cause permanent change, which is evident by the year-round domestic and international programs being run by organizations like the Earth Day Network.

Lost of people do it. You know, get the urge to do loads of other stuff while waiting for the shower to get hot (like making coffee, make breakfast, walk around, feed the pets, talk to the pets, wave to the neighbours….uh…mental note: close blinds).
A company called Evolve has come up with two products that help to reduce your water usage. The basic concept entails automatically shutting of the water flow when it reaches 95 degrees.

Tip: Reducing waste equals reducing our impact. One way we can do this is by replacing throwaway plastic bags with reusable containers. Storing food items for instance in reusable containers instead of plastic sandwichs bags can potentially save you waste and money.
Another thing you can use reusable containers for is beverage containers. The next time you order your “custom, double extra-special but hold the…” drink consider using a reusable container. There’s even options for those who just can’t shake the need for that specific look and feel of that paper/plastic drink cup. Check it out here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/accessories/a3a4/
