Feliz Earth Day mi gente. Hopefully today you will find a way to do something for madre tierra if you haven’t been doing so already. Here are some quick and easy things you can do right now to celebrate and sustain mother earth for us and for generaciones to come.

1 : Let (Those Wires) Loose
Unplug electronics you’re not using, this includes your cell phone charger, television, and yes, computer (when you’re not reading VL). Even when many electronics are turned off they still use power (and still cost you).

2 : Don’t Be a Chica(o) Plastica
If you’re still choosing plastic when they offer paper or plastic, try changing your answer. Or better yet carry your own cloth reusable bag when shopping. I do (most of the time- sometimes I forget). And if you’ve been paying any attention you know that that plastics in water bottles (BPA’s) aren’t doing you (or landfills) and good. Buy a stainless steel water bottle that you can use over and over. Mala’s favorite is Kleen Kanteen.

More tips after the jump.
