Many of the bigger websites will think twice before linking to a website feature me.  I&#8217;ve often thought that I should re-brand myself.  However, every now and again, the Lazy Man name works to my advantage.  One such time spanned the last few days.  While I was deeply engaged in a combination of family issues and the NFL draft &#8211; two of my highest priorities &#8211; I missed the opportunity or an Earth Day post.  On the bright side, I think there&#8217;s great value in reminding people about Earth Day after the actual day has passed.  It&#8217;s not like there is only one day to think about the environmentally responsible.  <\/p>\n<p>On some Earth Days, the topics to write about come easy to me.  This time it didn&#8217;t come easy.  I came close to mentioning the little things we do to help the environment such as recycle about 75% of trash (the other 25% is simply extremely difficult or impossible to recycle in my area).  However, I decided it was best to leave it to the experts and give you a couple of sites and articles to read:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>While I try to be a good human, I&#8217;m not The Good Human&#8230; so humbly ask that you read <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegoodhuman.com\/\">The Good Human<\/a> &#8211; Seriously, it&#8217;s worth reading every day&#8230; and twice on Sundays.<\/li>\n<li>One of the better articles I read this week was a great analysis about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.observingcasually.com\/should-i-turn-off-my-computer-at-night-to-save-energy\/\">shutting off a computer to conserve power<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t like any of those articles, I remind you to check out previous articles I&#8217;ve written:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lazymanandhealth.com\/importing-food-to-kill-mother-earth\/\">Importing Food to Kill Mother Earth<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/save-money-and-the-environment\/\">Save Money and the Environment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/four-lazy-ways-to-save-the-environment\/\">Four Lazy Ways to Save the Environment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/hewlett-packard-hates-the-environment-and-your-wallet\/\">Hewlett-Packard Hates the Environment and Your Wallet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/save-money-and-the-enviroment-at-the-same-time\/\">Save Money and the Environment at the Same Time?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Related posts:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/four-lazy-ways-to-save-the-environment\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Four Lazy Ways to Save the Environment'>Four Lazy Ways to Save the Environment<\/a> <small>It&#8217;s Earth Day and I&#8217;d be remiss if I didn&#8217;t&#8230;<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/we-are-only-dancing-on-this-earth-for-a-short-while\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: We Are Only Dancing on This Earth for a Short While'>We Are Only Dancing on This Earth for a Short While<\/a> <small>[This particular article is a little lacking on personal finance&#8230;.<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/april-round-up\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: April Round-Up'>April Round-Up<\/a> <small>Here are some of the top Lazy Man and Money&#8230;<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/thank-you-and-happy-new-year\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Thank You and Happy New Year!'>Thank You and Happy New Year!<\/a> <small>I&#8217;ve been keeping it a little secret, but I&#8217;ve had&#8230;<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href='http:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/save-money-and-the-environment\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Save Money and the Environment'>Save Money and the Environment<\/a> <small>For the past couple of months, I&#8217;ve been writing ways&#8230;<\/small><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having a name like &#8220;Lazy Man&#8221; means that I lose a lot of potential media attention.
