You may already know that today is Earth Day and that this week is Earth Week. But did you know there are some simple things you can do every day that will enable you to live a greener lifestyle as an apartment dweller?

The National Apartment Association (NAA) has put together a list of seven tips for Earth Week that will help you conserve fuel and water, reduce waste, save energy, and be a good friend of the environment.

Some of these tips offer an added benefit, helping not just the environment, but you. For example, by turning off lights and electronics when you don't need them, not only will you conserve energy, but you'll also see your electricity bill reduced. By choosing the stairs over the elevator to get to and from your apartment, you'll lower elevator use energy while keeping fit.
