Earth Day!


Today is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day! Although most people probably don't think of Indianapolis has the 'greenest' place to live, this city has been making some remarkable strides and we can only get better. Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB) has a great website with great info on how to donate, volunteer, and where to dump all of your junk! Sometimes the hardest thing to do is finding the right place for your trash or things that you no longer need.
Try to do at least one thing differently in your routine today to help the environment. It doesn't have to be a huge step, but all of the little things make a big difference! Some ideas- car pooling, start a compost pile, wash your office coffee mug instead of grabbing the styrofoam, don't print out all your emails, trade clothes with a friend, etc!
Also, here are some events going on today and some on Saturday in honor of Earth Day!
