We know our colors are cardinal and gold, but for this one day you can be green. Even as a busy college student, here are simple ways to save the earth, one action at a time this Earth Day:

Stop the running water

Take a shorter shower and turn the water off while you brush your teeth.

See this year’s Disney nature movie, Monkey Kingdom

If you see the movie today or tomorrow a contribution is made to Conservation International to help protect monkeys and other endangered species.

Walk or bike to class

A little rain or fresh air won’t kill you — actually it’s good for you and the environment.

Think before you print

Save your print credits and a tree at the same time.

Reusable cups

Besides looking cooler than other cups, reusable cups help the planet.
