Earth Friendly Tip 6: Reduce Car Trips

Karen Shragg offers green tips to readers as Earth Day nears.

Editor's Note: April 22 is Earth Day, as it has been for over 40 years. But why limit it to just one day? Join us here on Nature Notes for the next 10 days for a new environmentally-friendly tip from Karen Shragg, naturalist and director of Wood Lake Nature Center.
