It’s Earth Day again! Time to start at least saving the environment for free if you haven’t been already, and maybe even plant some trees and donate to a worthy charity, like The Conservation Fund. If you want to know why I prefer The Conservation Fund, read this.
Want to do even more to save the environment? Start at home with this list of fifty ways to help the planet.
Now, get out of your home or office and spend some time outdoors, or at least watch this video if you can’t.
Occasionally, I hear someone ask which shipping company is the most environmentally conscious. Look, the answer is simple. If you want to ship something in a “green” manner, just mail it. Why? Because the mail truck would have gone to the destination regardless.
Mail trucks deliver mail to the destination every day except Sunday, while most delivery services follow the same schedule but only travel to the destination when they have a package to deliver. No matter what kind of fuel they use or how high-tech their trucks are, two trucks will always release more carbon emissions than one truck, so choose the one that already has to visit the destination.
If environmental issues bug you too, please feel free to stop by Save the Environment for Free and Why I Chose the Conservation Fund.
It is once again time to celebrate Earth Day! If you haven’t been saving the environment for free, why not start today? Today is also the perfect day to plant trees and donate to a worthy charity, like The Conservation Fund.
Want to do more for the environment? This list of fifty ways to help the planet should offer plenty of inspiration.
At the very least, get out of the house and spend some time outdoors today. It’s a beautiful day today! And, if it isn’t, stay indoors and watch this video.
Three years ago, I published Save The Environment for Free, a post detailing some of the novel ways that you can help save our environment without having to spend a dime. Today, I’d like to talk about water.
Many of us are used to simply going to the kitchen for a cool and refreshing drink of fresh clean water, but over 800 million people worldwide lack access to clean water, and over 3 million people die from water-related disease each year.
Various charities are collecting donations to provide wells and water filtration to communities in need, but Children’s Safe Drinking Water is taking a new approach by providing two ways for you to provide clean water for free.
If you’re on Facebook, visit PUR’s Daily Drop to donate 10 liters of clean water for the cost of nothing more than a few clicks. If you aren’t already on Facebook, this may be the perfect reason to join.
If you have an iPhone or Android-powered phone, get the CauseWorld app. You’ll gain an average 5 karmas for every store you log visiting. Once you’ve gained 100 karmas, you can cash them in to provide 50 days worth of clean water for a child. 50 days worth of clean water for every 20 stores that you visit is not a bad deal at all, and you aren’t obligated to spend anything more than the effort (and perhaps gas) that it takes to visit the stores.
Want to provide more than just a few liters of clean water per day? Please consider making donations to Children’s Safe Drinking Water, Water.org, and Charity: Water.
It’s April 22nd, and that means that it’s time to celebrate Earth Day again! If you haven’t been saving the environment for free, why not start today? Today is also the perfect day to plant trees and donate to a few worthy charities, like The Nature Conservancy and The Conservation Fund.

Tom announced the launch of Lower (Carbon) Footprint earlier today. Lower (Carbon) Footprint is Tom’s new blog dedicated to “Green issues”. Tom has often used his main blog, Tom Raftery’s Social Media, to express his views on environmental issues, energy efficiency and carbon offset, so this veteran blogger’s decision to launch a separate blog should come as no surprise. If you want to learn more about lowering your carbon footprint, subscribe to Lower (Carbon) Footprint today!
You’ve probably heard it all before, “For just pennies a day . . . For a one-time donation of . . . With your annual membership . . .” Well, I’m going to say something a little bit different today.
For just minutes a day, you can improve the quality of the environment for yourself and everyone around you who is, or whoever will be, living on our green Earth. That’s right, I said “For just minutes a day . . .” In fact, I sponsor the protection of 82.8 square feet of rain forest and wilderness land, and the removal of 5 pounds of CO2 from our atmosphere, every day for only two minutes of my time. Would you like to know how?
Every night, I visit EcologyFund.com and click every red button to save a total 64 square feet of rain forest and wilderness land and remove 4 pounds of CO2 from the atmosphere. I then visit The Rainforest Site and click the large green button to save 11.4 square feet of rain forest land. Following that, I visit Race for the Rainforest to save 7.4 square feet of either rainforest land, marine wetland, or American prairie, and Race to Stop Global Warming to remove 1 more pound of CO2 from the atmosphere.
That’s right, by following this routine, you too can sponsor the protection of 82.8 square feet of rain forest and wilderness land, and the removal of 5 pounds of CO2 from our atmosphere, every day for only two minutes of your time. That’s a total of 30,222 square feet (almost 3/4 of an acre) and 1,825 pounds (almost a ton) every year!
That’s a lot of green, but why not throw some blue in for good measure? For just a few additional seconds, you can also sponsor the protection of the world’s oceans by visiting Race for the Oceans.
Want to do more to save the environment? Then please consider making donations to The Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, National Wildlife Federation, The Sierra Club Foundation, and Oceana.
During my last vacation, Pluto lost its status as a planet. Now that I have returned from my relaxing vacation in Hawai’i, I would like to share some of the important events which happened while I was away.
