Millions of people around the world are making small but significant changes to help sustain our ecosystem every day. Want to join them, and help make the earth a healthier place to live? It's simple-- Dr. Weil highlights four tips, courtesy of www.earthday.net :

• Replace regular light bulbs with energy efficient ones--they use less electricity, resulting in lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
• Drive less, get regular tune-ups, and consider a hybrid car--all can reduce CO2 levels and improve fuel efficiency
• Eat locally farmed foods that are grown organically. It takes less energy to get them to market and organic farming uses no pesticides
• Buy recycled products--and recycle your trash. In addition, steer clear of products that use excessive packaging

Small steps and individual responsibility can make a huge difference all over the world--get started today, and encourage others to do the same!
