Writer's Block: Happy Earth Day

What do you do EVERY day to take care of the earth's environment? What could you do more of?

Every day I wake up and the first thing I do is NOT drop a piano on Marzipan's head. Let's see.. Well, I recycle my stuff. And if I see some litter within X amount of distance from a waste basket I'll drop it in.. Being vegan and not supporting meat industries is a biggie. And using light from my open windows instead of lighting of the electric persuasion saves quite a bit.. Oh, and opting not to have children. The world needs less humans. ..Nice long entry on that topic to come some day eventually probably.
As for what I could do more of... I suppose I could stop leaving the television on all day solely for unnecessary background noise. And turn off my computer before going to bed. Oh, and I need to learn how to recycle like paper and cardboard.. And those other things that have a random number in the middle of the recycle logo. What do those mean? Where do I take those? And I could compost my compostable kitchen matter. Oh, and ride my bike to take care of local errands, such as Shoppers, or Best Buy, or the mall. And chain myself to a tree marked to be cut down for a new shopping center.
Wow. There's a lot more that I could do than I already do. I do have a few bags full of paper, cardboard, and those other plastics with those numbers on them. It's just a matter of me figuring out how to take care of them.
Happy Earth Day, everyone.

this should help with your recycling needs. just be sure to carefully read what's excluded and how to prepare items for recycling. also of interest: remove the caps from bottles. I didn't realize that the county recycled plastics numbered 1-7. my trash collector only takes 1 and 2 (just like my toilet, har har). i will have to call them about that.
