Clean Up for Earth Day

While we're dedicated to saving money here at Savings.com, like many people today we're also interested in saving the planet. Whether it's recycling, using reusable bags when shopping or replacing regular bulbs with the energy-saving compact fluorescent version, there are many little things you can do that will add up to make a big difference.

So with Earth Day approaching (April 22nd), we thought we'd alert you to ways you can get involved and celebrate our big, beautiful planet!

One of our favorite merchants, Smashbox, is joining the Surfrider Foundation's Santa Monica beach clean-up from 9-11 am on Wednesday, April 22nd. If you're in the Los Angeles area, you can pitch in by contacting volunteer [at] surfriderwlam [dot] org.

If you're not located in L.A., Surfrider has plenty of other volunteer opportunities available with chapters all over the coastal U.S. Or you can check out the Earth Day Network for ways to give back to your community on Earth Day and every day.

Another way to be more eco-conscious is by using organic and green products, like those sold at Gaiam, which embodies green living not only with its line of healthy living products, but also with its commitment to carbon neutral shipping, recyclable and bio-degradable packaging and fair trade practices. In honor of Earth Day, we've got an exclusive Gaiam coupon which will give you 20% Off on the most expensive item in your cart.

Plant a tree, clean a beach, change a light bulb. Save the planet, one step at a time. And save some money, one deal at a time at Savings.com.
