Remembering Our Role As Caretakers of Mother Earth...
Happy Earth Day! No gifts to buy or cards to send this holiday --
celebrating Earth Day this Friday can be quick and easy.
1) Send a message to car makers - Cars are one of the biggest sources
of global warming pollution. California's groundbreaking new law cuts
global warming pollution from cars. But the auto industry is suing to
block the law. As a potential customer, your voice matters. On Earth
Day, take a moment to tell car makers they should build less polluting
cars instead of suing.

2) Earth-friendly seafood - print a wallet-sized list - Farmed salmon
or wild - which is better for you and the planet? Carry this list of
fish with you, so whether shopping for groceries or dining at a
restaurant, you can always navigate your way to the best seafood
choices. Print an extra for a friend!

3) Follow 20 simple steps to help undo global warming - Global warming
is our most serious environmental problem. Today, tweak a daily habit

house with more energy efficiency bulbs.
