Earth Hour | Free contest | Win $30 FREE | CLOSED

I recycle plastic, paper and tin cans. I'd like to do more. I drive a small Honda car, so I'm trying to leave a small carbon footprint.

Make it a habit to turn the lights out when you leave a room and you will save electricity, reducing your hydro bill and allowing you more $ to gamble with!

Count me in. I'll probably leave my computer on, however. What a great way to get people involved! Thanks TDTAT!

I'm a wildlife rehabilitator so am always excited to see things like this! I absolutely will participate! Thank you! This is for all my squirrels, opossums, bunnies, birds, 'coons, chipmunks, snakes, toads,.......I know! My poor poor husband! (Oh yeah, and most especially for my own litter of children! lol)

I am glad everyone does a little to help! A little goes a long way if everyone participates!

Here is a cool article about everyone working together...
Who cares about politics, we all love the planet!

Bipartisan GREEN Campaign: "Only God Should Move Mountains"
full article from Huffington Post:
http://tinyurl.com/czl9r3
"Our message is simple," said Dawn Coppock legislative director of LEAF. "As Christians, we are told through scripture to enjoy and respect God's Creation. Blowing up mountains for an extremely small amount of coal forever damages God's handiwork, and we must put an end to it. Man should not permanently alter Creation. Only God should move mountains."
