Earth Day is today, April 22nd but you can celebrate all year long by taking advantage of these three earth friendly ideas that will help you use resources wisely at home.

1. Do an energy audit. Zero in on your home’s problem areas and you may be able to cut utility costs and help the environment at the same time. Check out the U.S. Department Energy Audit at eere.energy.gov to help you get started.

2. Consider a solar water heater, especially if you plan on staying in your home for the long term.

3. Cut back on water usage. According to the American Water Works Association, 69.3 gallons of water are used daily per person in a single family home. Surely we could do something about this.

Let’s all do our part for the environment! Happy Earth Day. Lisa
