9 Green Things You Can Do on 9
It's a good day to . Or play the lottery. Or boycott the prevalence of adorable cats on the internet. But whether or not you're a numerologist, today's unusual date can be the inspiration for some green acts. Here are 9 green things you can do today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], compiled from across the web.
1. Recycle your old sneakers. Running shoes are among dozens of items that aren't obvious fare for recycling, but that doesn't mean they should head to the landfill. The Daily Green lists them here.
2. Start a community garden. If your neighborhood doesn't already have one, it may seem like a daunting task for a city-dweller. But the Nation makes it easier,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with a step-by-step guide to getting fresh produce from your block by next year.
3. If you aren't already paying your bills online, what are you waiting for? You'll save paper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], money on postage, and your transactions will be secure. While you're de-papering your life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], take it a step further and get off of the various junk mail and catalogue lists that deluge you with useless paper each day. The average household recieves more than 800 pieces of junk mail a year. The Do Not Mail Registry is one of several organizations that will stop the flow of paper junk.
4. Pack your lunch in a totally reusable way a Bento.

6. Canning is cool again. Preserve all of those farmer's market fruits and veggies for the winter by canning them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the old fashioned way. If that seems too daunting, the recipes for pickles and refrigerator jams are easier for a novice. Homemade preserves can make good housewarming gifts for the holidays.
7. The days are getting cooler, which means it's time to cut the AC.

Either way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], today seems to be a day for mulling over Jones' storied environmental and political legacy, and speculating about his next step.
9. Finally, it's ok to ooh and aah about today's new iPod announcement. Just remember that if you upgrade your old iPod for a new one, don't throw your outdated gadget away recycle it.
