National Geographic's Green Guide Ten Tips for Earth Day: Preserving Biodiversity.

Yes, Earth Day has passed but of course, in my world "everyday is Earth Day." So there. :-P

Seriously, these are good. I've already discussed a few and I actually do some of them but hadn't thought about talking about them here...for example, paperless bills.

Home Energy Usage

I got this tip in my inbox this morning:

Make HER do it instead. Call a Home Energy Rater - a specialist who finds out how efficient your place is and can estimate how much you'll save by making specific improvements.

If you want to see how energy efficient your home is I suggest following through with something like this. Ideal Bite suggests hiring a Home Energy Rater which will cost b/t $250 and $600. I am sure this is more comprehensive than the one my power company offers but NES offers a free audit...check your power company and see if they do too.
