I was married on Earth Day so it's doubley important to me! I pledge to encourage more and more people to do their part, and to go vegetarian.

I am doing as much as I can know but I promise to inform more people and continue to fight on your behalf.

The "polar ice caps are melting" is something to keep in mind when you face trival obstacles in trying to consider the environment. Keep moving forward.

I have stopped purchasing bottled water, and use cloth bags for shopping. Because the city has a recycling program I only have to take what they will not pick up curbside to my recycling center. I have seen my garbage reduced to a small bag weekly.

For our children and theirs, I pledge to be a better visitor to this planet.

I try to decrease my impact on the environment. Increase draught resistant planting, less grass, less watering, using rain water barrels, less trash, less driving (combine trips), less catalogs and junk mail ...... and the list goes on ......

Ride my bike, recycle more, drive less, save water, and hug a tree!

I am teaching my children and small grandchildren the importance of loving our earth in tangible ways. I would love to purchase more foods locally,and will attempt to do so in the coming months.

My pledges may be small,however I believe baby steps can make a huge difference in the overall scheme so I pledge to use my cloth bags more consistently for shopping. I also pledge to not let the water run while brushing my teeth and to not run the washing machine unless I have a full load. I am using energy saving light bulbs and refilling my water bottle from my Brita already so these additions will take me one step further.

I plan to encourage and educate others I'm surrounded by to do their part when it comes to recyling at the office and at home. I also plan to buy locally grown foods more often than usual - they taste better anyway! I can even use my cloth bags for the locally grown produce.

We're continuing our campaign to fund eco-friendly organizations through our commited foundation, The TerraMadre, and sharing thoughts and ideas on our blog at www.theterramadre.org. GREEN IS NOT A NEUTRAL COLOR.

I pledge to completely turn off my cell phone when I go to sleep at night so the battery is not being used for no reason.

I pledge to buy products with high recycled content even if they're currently more expensive.

I pledge to help the children in my life grow up being aware of what they can do to help the earth by being an example to them.

I pledge to walk a whole lot more, recycle all that I can and find a use for stuff that I cant, and SPREAD THE WORD!

I have been running an Eco site for years now. Check it out sometime. I miss your show ED hope to see ya back on the air soon. This year I am going solar and wind power with how to info V-blogs/blogs.

I pledge to research and buy a new energy efficient water heater by the end of the year. This is the last appliance to buy, and then all of our appliances will be energy efficient!

Last year at this time I started picking up at least 10 pieces of trash a day and recycling as much as I can of that-- without really going out of my way, it's been scary easy to do. Some days I exceed my goal number by a factor of 3 to 5.

This year I am really (!) going to hook up my rain barrels at the house.

At my church, a Green Team formed last year is contracting for an energy audit and hope to make some investments in lowering the footprint once prioritized actions can be identified and ranked by payback time. After that, we'll look at offsets (Terrapass has already been mentioned).

I bring my own bags wherever I go, not just the market. My home is turning into a plastic bag free zone.

20 years ago I switched ALL my light bulbs to CFL's and every bulb is still burning while my neighbor is constantly asking me to go to the store and buy and replace her regular bulbs for her. I don't know if it is because she is elderly and therefore skeptical, but I cannot convince her of the practical and environmental benefit of the CFL's. HELP! The other benefit is that I walk to the store to get her bulbs and my groceries so that saves gas. I have the most energy efficient car I could get without it being a hybrid(after Hurricane Katrina we didn't have the luxury of a lot of choice but I've always driven Honda's).I turn off all moniters, chargers, lights, have lo-flow showers, toilets, etc.. It's hard to do more-I live in an apartment.

consider getting a hybrid car, plant a tree for a better tomarrow :) walk/bike more

I'm going to use cloth bags in the grocery & other stores that I take in with me, instead of getting their horrid plastic bags, when I have to purchase products.

I pledge to continue respecting the earth every day. We are making our organic garden bigger this year and including berries. Also just got some barrels to use for rain water collection. Also plan to make every purchase count and think of its impact on our earth.

I pledge to get my office recycling, and to turn off my power strip when I'm not using my computer.

I lOVEEEEE earth dayy :D

its awesomee.

i agree with the earth day every dayy

for this earth day i'm going to buy a terra pass
for my parents car which is $$ that goes to the process of removing the carbon from the air that your car has emitted.

its like. you put in your car type and it tells you how much carbon it releases per year and how much it is to get rid of it :]

and also my parents might get a new car and ive convinced them into a hybrid XD

I am going to split my home into two zone heating/cooling, and weatherproof for better efficiency.

I add a new resolution each year... so far I bike more, use terrapass, use cloth bags for shopping, recycle everything I can, compost my food waste and plant my own organic veggies and buy from local farm stands in the summer.

This year I'm pledging to buy more clothing from Salvation Army rather than buying new... Recycled clothing!!

Take shorter showers, waste less food, continue volunteering with a local stream restoration project.

Our school D.M.Eagle always has a visitor and he is a blue whale that you can play inside of(he is a blow up) and we do something every day this week for earth day like tomarrow we are turning lights off for one hour and on Wednesday is waste less Wednesday.

I pledge to build a bicycle out of used materials from Plan B here in New Orleans, and to ride it whenever possible.

I plan to celebrate today (as I do each year) by remembering the very first Earth Day (at which I attended in Riverdale, NY), at which everyone including the then junior Senator Charles "Chuck" Schumer intoned their warning about imminent Global COOLING. Yeah, we were supposed to be in the next Ice Age by 1980. This is documented; I was there and I heard it. But fear not. Even back then, and for reasons 180 degrees opposite to today's cause du jour, America was also depicted as "the enemy."

Now watch how fast this comment is deleted or "responded to." 31 comments before me, not a single divergent opinion on this little leftist totalitarian love fest. Even if you believed in this BS, doesn't it seem a bit odd to you from the natural "bell curve" of responses you see on all other blogs that from 31 responses there isn't a single one that even questions this crap?

Enjoy the nightmare. It's of your own creation. Go ahead, keep wasting your life as puppets of the Left and (surprise!) the OPEC cartel who have kept us from exploring for oil in our own reserves thanks to useful tools like you.

I love earth day
It is the coolest day of the year!
:) :0 :) :) :) :0 :) :) :) :) :)

I pledge to one day only buy locally produced food!

i think the earth is very special to use! we need mother earth!
