Simple Tips for Helping <br />the Planet This Earth Day The holiday, which started in 1970, <br />is celebrated on April 22. Here are a few simple things you can do to celebrate. Store your meals in <br />reusable containers and avoid <br />putting them in plastic or paper bags. Same goes for <br />the grocery store. In fact, it is best to <br />not use plastic bags at all. When cleaning up your house, <br />recycle as much as you can. Old electronics can even be <br />recycled instead of thrown in the trash. Using compact fluorescent bulbs to light up your living space will help you save energy. If one has the space, consider <br />planting a tree this Earth Day. Starting a garden containing <br />flowers, vegetables or both <br />is also a great idea.
