Just a reminder that April 22 is Earth Day.

It is only January, but it’s a great time to begin making Earth Day plans. Prepare now to do something to celebrate Earth Day. Some ideas:

• take the One-Tonne Challenge • decide to take the bus or walk more • buy a hybrid car next time (an improvement!) • read your news online • recycle always and make others do the same • use a non-electric push lawn mower • turn down the temperature by one degree C in your home • compost your food scraps! • turn off lights when not in use • inflate your tires properly

These are only a few ideas. There is lots more you can do. Simple decisions and lifestyle changes can make a big difference.

Let us know what you plan to do!
