Take Personal Action
Take the Earth Day Pledge
Take the Pledge to be ONE and be part of the solution today! Taking the Pledge to be ONE is more than just simple steps - it can help reduce our impact on the planet.
Green Your Ride
- Ride your bike or walk once a week instead of driving.
- Take public transit when available.
- If you must drive, combine multiple errands into a single trip.
Drink Clean Tap Water
- Carry a reusable water bottle in your bag and fill up at home.
- Contact your local municipality and demand clean, safe drinking water from the tap.
- When dining out, ask for filtered tap water instead of bottled water.
BYOB - Bring Your Own Bag
- Carry a reusable bag on your next shopping trip.
- For smaller items, tell the bagger you don’t need a bag.
- If you forget your own bag, don’t get your items double bagged.
Get Unplugged
- Unplug larger appliances when they’re off. Powerstrips make it convenient.
- Check around your home for unused refrigerators, TVs, or DVD players — and unplug them.
- If you are in the market for new appliances, buy EnergyStar models that use less energy.
Sign Up and Act
- Sign Up for ELPC’s online action network.
- Contact your legislators about important environmental issues regularly.
- Attend local events and rallies.
Take the Pledge today!
