Today's the day to go the extra distance: Bike to work, make a generous donation to an environmental charity, plant a tree with the family, start a vegetarian diet or take on any other major green commitment you've been thinking of doing. Give it a try and join millions of others celebrating this wonderful planet. Start a blog and write about making a big green change so you can inspire others and they can start a dialogue, too.

You're green and didn't even know it: Downloading music and podcasts onto your iPod is the greenest way to go. Instead of wasteful CD packaging that ends up in landfills (not to mention driving to and from the mall), all of your digital files are instantly downloaded onto your device. No waste and instant gratification.

Do you have a shower curtain and a liner? Most shower curtain liners are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which gives off harmful gasses the second you hang it up in your bathroom. Instead, think like you're in a hotel and get a nylon shower curtain; it's waterproof, machine-washable and not made from PVC. Best part? When it looks dingy, just unhook it and wash away ... Good as new!
