I had planned to write something profound for Earth Day, but so many others have already been more eloquent than I, so I’ll just leave it to them to inspire you:

Fake Plastic Fish celebrates Earth Day with pictures. So does Go Green Travel Green. Crunchy Chicken points out that you can’t buy sustainability from the store. The Good Human has the same idea. Allie’s Answers, who was the one to first pass along all these fantastic links, is green every day!

I will offer two things though.

1. The furry little creature to the left, you may recall, is The Lorax; he speaks for the trees. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, Conservation International, Random House and The Lorax are teaming up to save the trees. The Lorax is being reprinted with information about “The Lorax Project,” which launched today. Ten to 15% of profits from the book and green products that feature The Lorax’s image will be used for efforts to stop deforestation in Madagascar, Brazil and China.

I encourage you to follow The Lorax’s lead in informing the younger generation on the importance of saving the trees and Earth. The Lorax would thank you.

2. I know this gets said every Earth Day, but make Earth Day every day! Some people grumble about why devote only one day to recognizing the need to be green. I don’t have that problem since any Earth PR is a good thing. But maybe try a new green technique once a week — start unplugging your unused appliances this week. Next week take some bags with you to the grocery store when you shop for food. They say it takes 30 days to make a new habit stick, so keep that in mind.
