Earth Day reminds us that it's important to be working locally and thinking globally. Here are some ideas for you to try in your home and community.

Challenge your kids to pick up can and bottles, which can be redeemed. Start a fund for a green cause in your community with the money. Extend the challenge to your community.

Track your carbon footprint for a year by keeping a family diary as you recognize how large it is, find ways to reduce it week by week.

How many food miles are racked up, by what you are consuming? Search out local farmers' markets – support local suppliers.
