okay so my fave earth tipp is buy food localy.keep on making and does your tv really have to stay on when not in use?

Create your own DIY grocery bag and say goodbye to paper or plastic and say hello reusable goodness. Also if you’re not feelin ultra motivated (as finals approach). The organic Mecca known as Whole Foods has reusable grocery bags for dirt-cheap as you check out. Take care!

Great show!
Fav. earth day tip... stop buying water! Get a water filter for your home and some re-useable water bottles.

If you're having trouble remembering to recycle, try setting up paper grocery bags next to all your trash cans, and throw your recycling in them.
That way they're there to remind you and you don't have to empty them, the whole thing's recyclable!

Go Mattie Beal!

This was awesome! I love Cal. Here's my eco tip: use reusable cloth hankies and cloth napkins and towels, no paper! Bonus: they are easy to customize with your own art by screen printing or stamping with fabric paints.

Great episode! Here's my tip. Cut up an old sweater or t-shirt that's seen better days to use as dust & cleaning cloths. It gives a purpose to what can't be repurposed, and works great on pretty much any surface. Patterned t-shirts are especially good for this (and definitely have character). Combine with eco-friendly cleaning supplies, and spring cleaning will be no match for you.

turn off your computer when you're not using it!

Yay for crochet! My earth day tip is to toilet train your cat if you have one. No more litter down the toilet or in landfills. You COULD buy a toilet training kit, but since you're also a DIYer, why not just follow this tutorial? All you need to buy is a metal mixing bowl at your local hardware store.

Did I mention you'll never have to clean the litter box again?

Liked the show. My tip is to turn off lights when not in use.

I love this project! My suggestion is to cut out your soy milk cartons down the side longways and you can use it as a window box. Its great for herbs and small flowers and you dont have to poke holes for the water to drain!. Oh and go vegatarian. Thats great for the enviroment

Earthy tip: cut off hte tops of your old milk bags and you've got an easily washable (hand) plastic bag for whatever you need. Perhaps you could use it for lunches and keep your sandwich in it, just add a clothespin and viola! No more plastic wrap or wax paper.
PS: use clothespins anyways for lots of you clamping needs, twist ties are such a waste.

Next Friday is also the Day of Silence, if Rob forgot my freakishly long e-mail that he received on his i-phone.

hey love the show and i normally watch it on a pod-cast in my itunes but I'm having difficulties the last couple of decor it yourself wouldn't download and this last episode kept crashing itunes. I was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem or if it was just me :(

Im gona be there for 2 or 3 weeks, no more, so I want to plan were to go with time. i hope you can help me with these. thanks.

hey guys i'm new here.love the show.my earth tip:no matter what you do to protect the environment,just make sure you get other people into it too!if everyone does a little bit something for our planet,we could make a huge difference!

You guys rock. I have an online radio & TV station, AKERU Global Radio & TV. (www.akeruradio.com). I have picked up your shows for my DIY/global activism TV station (akeruradio.com/Akeru_TV.html). They play daily throughout the day.

I'm an artist/activist, and also an Indie crafter and reconstructed clothing designer who does what my friends call "African Bohemian/Goth." I call it "Nu Afrakan Renegade Fashions." (TM) I get folks from all ages who love my Indie style, including the senior citizens and juvenile detention students. I end up making some highly asked about clothing & art ideas our art projects.

I love your ideas and guests. Great stuff, much inspiration.

Keep it flowin'. Much respect.

EARTH TIP: SIGN UP FOR ONLINE BANKING

Hmm favorite green tips.
My bike- I hooked up some saddle bags and unless the whether is too bad or I have to go somewhere over 4 miles away... I ride my bike
I grow my own herbs in my windows sill in my kitchen. Great for the air.

my favorite earth tip is to wear your jeans more than one day. it isn't gross or anything. it saves money and saves water. But for your underwear on the other hand I think it is better if you do change those !

[heart] this tutorial! for Earth Day i would like to tip to set out bird feeders or DIY them yourself by getting a regular paper milk carton and cutting a square in the middle toward the bottom half and feed a straw through a hole on the side for the birds to sit on and put some water in there, i suggest this not only for earth day but in general so birds everywhere dont have to drink contaminated sewer water :) thanks!- Kathy

Ahh, Matt was awesome.

Okay...One earth day tip I have is for those of us who have cars. Take that puppy to get a fuel injection cleaning service. It cleans out your whole fuel injection system (anywhere the gas goes), it lowers fuel emissions for cleaner air and it helps your fuel economy. A lot of places charge $40 and up, but a Wal-mart tire and lube express does it for about $20. And you should only do it about once or twice a year...just think about taking it in every Earth day and you're good! It's not something people realize when they think about helping the enviroment, but taking care of your car does make a difference.

ok quick question...her hat...I keep forgeting what they're called. can someone help me out? or even better..tell me what they are AND how to make one..if possibe..n I LOVE her clothes...ur closet would be my wonderland lol

Sorry.

my brother has a rip the size of jupiter (about a foot long) on the butt of these pants he got at a thrift store. since he is diy impared im fixing them for him, but every way to patch them involves sewing bright pink heart over or under.since it's on his butt i thnk he wants something more suttle. help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. the pants are dark green slacks

Earth Friendly Tip:
Banish disposable coffee sleeves at your local coffee house by cutting the neck off of an old tube sock (approx 5 inches) and use that as your coffee sleeve when you forget your reusable mug at home. If you don't want to use a sock, you can buy a nifty, portable, reusable sleeve at www.CupKozy.etsycom

Protect your hands and your land!

hello ...can you help me i have this dress and i want to make it better...

Cal rocks! Matt is awesome! Way to go Corrine & Rob. XO

earth tip: use the water from your fish tank when u clean it to water the garden it has lots of nutriants that plants love just like using seaweed i guess.

Earthy tips. Orange peels and egg shells are actually good for your garden. And although tossing salt on slugs are fun, it will make your soil unfertile.

You guys should have a vegan show. Different recipes for vegans. I've been looking up some that look really yummy. Maybe like vegan cookies!!!! lol

Now she is awsome cause I rembethe 70's and so many graand ideals from there and can apprciate some so crative like here.I want to see mor from here she was so detailed,very easy to do prjects d grea sstuff we would wear and use.

Awesome eppy, as always!
Thanks for the how-yo Cal!!

love the show so cool... fav. earth day tip is to diy with recycable goods like pop can top earings and braclets and even belts. And use old coke cans to cut out desighns just diy reycycable style.

I enjoy everything about Threadbangers. You feed my creative need in all the area's of recycling fabrics and much more. Thank-you!

Stop using throw away gift packaging-make the wrapping part of the gift. Starting last Christmas I began considering how I was offering the gift as part of the gift. I wrapped things in scarves, I bought bowls and mugs at thrift stores to hold presents, and all the gifts in stockings were inside recycled food boxes. Bows out of left over fabric or vcr tape. Spread the fun!

you're great!!!!!fantastic!thanx

this is hillarius ggle giggle
