So we all know that the environment is taking a serious beating because of the pollution we’re all heaping on to it.

While we often think of huge power plants billowing smoke into the sky when we think of pollution, our everyday habits are the little things that build up to the one of the biggest problems at all.

To help people understand and be inspired to change some habits to more eco-friendly ones, the City of Denver is instituting a new “Take 5″ Greenprint program.

The website offers ways to reduce our ecological footprint, with easy tips such as “replace one car trip a week with walking or bicycling,” or “replace 4 light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs.”

Denverites can sign the pledge on the website to make these changes, and in turn, change the eco-impact of the whole city.

Go get green, Denver!
