A Billion Acts of Green®
Earth Day Network has chosen A Billion Acts of Green® as the theme for Earth Day 2011. At over 40 million actions to date, A Billion Acts of Green®–the largest environmental service campaign in the world–inspires and rewards simple individual acts and larger organizational initiatives that further the goal of measurably reducing carbon emissions and supporting sustainability. The goal is to register one billion actions in advance of the global Earth Summit in Rio in 2012. www.earthday.org
Lets brainstorm ways that we can help, so far we have thought of buying local products and taking recycable bags to the supermarket.
Post your idea of how we can go green here!
Recycling plastic and metal and turning of the tap when your brushing your teeth!

re use things you can reuse and plant some trees. try to only eat fruit and veges that dont need to be transported very far. also ride your bike instead of the car and try to make fewe trips into town.

some thing else you can do instead of biking if you live a long way away is to take a bus or carpool to work or school. Anna

Something you could do is put your rubbish back into your lunch box and take it home, and pick up bits you see lying around the place.

look out for the recycling triangle on plastic products and if it has one put it in the recycling bin instead of the rubbish bin.

Take not as long showers and when brushing your teeth turn off the tap
