Earth Day, April 22, is an opportunity to demonstrate that environmental responsibility is everyone's responsibility. There are a number of simple everyday choices that people can make to help protect the environment and here are some suggestions from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency--

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint: Do you know what your carbon foot print is? EPA's interactive climate change webpage has a personal carbon calculator and information on ways individuals can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Save Energy: EPA's Energy Star webpage is the great place for consumers to find energy efficient products that are good for the environment and their wallets. Search this site to find the latest information on energy efficient electronics, lighting and cooling systems.

Use Water Efficiently: Visit EPA's WaterSense webpage to learn how efficient products and smart water choices can save money and help protect our nation's water supply.
