5 Minutes Needed to Make a Difference

You want to make a difference and preserve the planet. You want to do your part in every walk of life. You are looking to be energy efficient and produce a positive impact on the environment. In fact, if you had all the time in the world, you'd be tending to your organic garden or building a canoe out of chopsticks to promote recycling awareness.

Obviously, you don't have all the time in the world. But do you have 5 minutes? Helping the en-vironment doesn't take building a greenhouse or converting your car to biodiesel, it can just take five minutes. Below are environmentally friendly practices that only take a few spare minutes.

1. Switch Your Light Bulbs to CFL (Compact Florescent Light Bulbs)
2. Read Your Power Meters
3. Start a Compost Pile
4. Pick Up Trash Outside
