Set sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only - not the street or sidewalk.
Use the microwave to cook small meals. (It uses less power than an oven.)
Purchase "Green Power" for your home's electricity. (Contact your power supplier to see where and if it is available.)
Scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher; wash only full loads.
Cut back on air conditioning and heating use if you can.
Turn off appliances and lights when you leave the room.

Among the new shoes eco-friendly highlights:
All of these materials are also collected from old shoes as part of Nike’s Reuse a Shoe program. In this program, consumers send their shoes back to Nike and the materials are recycled into athletic courts and playgrounds.
The Nike Trash Talk will launch for the public on Earth Day, April 22, at the House of Hoops by Footlocker. To find a location near you to recycle/reuse shoes, use Earth 911’s recycling locator.
