April 22nd is Earth Day. Here are some skate themed suggestions about how you can be ‘green’ this Earth Day.

Stay ‘green’ and design your deck for Earth Day here: http://www.boardpusher.com/bp/design/

Recycle/Reuse:
Make something out of that old skateboard instead of throwing it away. Check out these ‘new’ things made from ‘old’ skateboards.

Shop local:
Shopping local keeps money in your community. It also saves resources needed to ship goods around the world. Check this list for custom skateboards near you.

Conserve natural resources:
Skateboard to school or work instead of driving. Not only is skateboarding a fun way to get where you’re going, but it’s also good for your health and saves gas.

More Earth Day Tips/Facts:

Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heating the water.

Unplug appliances when you’re not using them. Or, use a “smart” power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts “phantom” or “vampire” energy use.

Recycled paper requires 64% less energy than making paper from virgin wood pulp, and can save many trees.

It takes 90% less energy to recycle aluminum cans than to make new ones.

One gallon of motor oil can contaminate up to 2 million gallons of water. So dispose of properly!

14 billion pounds of trash is dumped into the ocean every year.

The energy we save when we recycle one glass bottle is enough to light a traditional light bulb for four hours.
