10 simple steps to help protect the earth

A flyer from the World Wildlife Federation lists 10 simple things you can do to help protect God's earth:
  1. Drive less; walk more.
  2. Go for second. Reuse when possible.
  3. Three-peat. Recycle what you can.
  4. Bag it. Use your own bag, not a plastic or paper one.
  5. BYOB ... your own water bottle, that is.
  6. Flip 'em. Turn off lights.
  7. Get in touch with your roots. Plant trees.
  8. Get off it. Stop getting catalogs you don't want.
  9. Put on a sweater [in winter, that is!]
  10. Support pro-earth organizations.

Future postings will expand on each of these steps separately.
