Top Tips for Earth Day 2012


Earth day falls on April 22nd and is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. It is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year, and this year we want to share with
you some key tips to adhere to so you can do your bit for the earth:


  1. Turn off all lights and sources of power when they are not in use. This may sound obvious, that conserving energy helps the environment, but many people don’t actually do this. By simply reducing the amount of energy used each day, this is known to significantly prevent global warming.
  2. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYLE!! Yes you have probably heard this so many times, but did you know that by recycling half of your household waste, you can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide annually?! So It is important to do your part to reduce waste by choosing reusable products instead of disposables.
  3. Encourage Others to Conserve. Share information about recycling and energy conservation with your friends, neighbors and co-workers, and take opportunities to encourage public officials to establish programs and policies that are good for the environment. Why not buy one our fashion forward shopper for one of your friends to help them make their start at going green..
