Dear Just Be: Isn't today Earth Day? What can I do to help out?

Its been forty years since the fist Earth Day was recognized and celebrated. There are many ways you can help save and protect our communities and our planet - and some are quite easy.

1. Offset the water that is used in your toilet by placing a small brick or similar object in the tank.

2. Plant a tree in your yard or in your community.

3. Turn off the lights when you are not using a particular room.

4. Shut off the water while brushing your teeth or while showering. Only use what you need.

5. Walk or bike to local markets, to work, to school versus using your car. (Or take public transportation.)

6. Start a garden at your home or a community garden in your area.

7. Support recycling efforts in your neighborhood.

8. Go see the movie "Oceans" which opens today- Disneynature will donate a portion of the movies proceeds from opening week to save the worlds coral reefs.

Remember, every small change can make a difference!
