Tip for best answer: M$2.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Here are some easy things you can do:

-Conserve electicity by turning off lights and appliances not in use
-Conserve water
-plant a tree
-clean up a park near your house
-turn down the heat or AC
-hang your clothes to dry instead of using the dryer
-don't let your car idle
-use reusable shopping bags instead of plastic ones
-start composting if you don't already, not only does it reduce the amount of garbage sent to landfills, you will get excellent soil for your garden
-use natural cleaning pruducts, buy them or make your own, baking soda and water works great. baking soda is a natural disifectant and doesn't have the chemicals that most cleaning products have

Here's a link for ideas for cleaning with baking soda http://www.thenewhomemaker.com/bakingsoda

I agree with hillo, teach kids to conserve and to respect our environment. A great book for this is Dr. Seuss' The Lorax. http://www.seussville.com/lorax/

Hi, One way to 'help the planet' is to conserve water.

1. Don't water your lawn with the city/town/well water supply - instead capture rain water from your roof for garden and lawn irrigation

2. Take short showers

3. Keep plumbing fixtures efficient
(stop leaks or drips with new washers or replacement parts)

4. Turn off the faucet when you brush your teeth

5. Teach kids about conservation
