I know a lot of you think that cleaning up the environment and going “green” is something only President Obama can achieve through savvy statesmanship resulting in non-binding agreements that will take effect (possibly) ten to twelve years from now. However, there are a lot of easy (and fun) things that you can do to reduce your environmental impact on the earth. Here are just a few!

- drink tap water instead of buying water in non-biogradable plastic bottles
- refrain from the use of aerosol as much as possible
- unplug the refrigerator each night before you go to bed
- recycle newspapers
- clip candles onto your christmas tree instead of electric lights
- ride your bike to work instead of using your automobile
- replace the nightlight in your child’s bedroom with a candle on the ground near his crib or bed
- eat raw food (like uncooked broccoli or chicken-sushi) instead of firing up the gas grill to cook them
- replace all lamps and other light fixtures with candles
- eat leftovers cold instead of reheating them
- ride your bike instead of driving your automobile when you go on your daily run to the store for candles
