Ask: what can I do to help keep Earth a viable place for all 
earthlings to live? Here are some simple and some more complex things we can do to help our environment and keep this planet liveable for all creatures. Choose a few and move forward!
Do not constantly run the water when you brush your teeth or wash up.
Bathe & Shower less. Your skin & hair will love you for it. (Do touch-up wash, please!) Fix leaky faucets & toilets. (In Feng Shui plumbing problems means money down the drain & poor health).
If you have a dishwasher use the quick wash setting for lightly soiled dishes not the regular setting.
Use cold water to wash clothes, use the quick wash setting. Use phosphate free products.
Help reduce the plastic water bottle refuse:
1.Buy a faucet water purifier/filter, or a counter top filter unit.
2.Have a washable water bottle and use the filtered water from the tap or counter filter unit.
Reduce/ stop meat consumption (gallons of water to produce a lb of meat compared to vegetables).
Purchase organic products as much as possible, less harmful fertilizers, pesticides, and hormones.
Take public transportation, bike or walk. Reduce car emissions.
Turn off lights when not in use, use energy efficient bulbs.
Support legislation to reduce airplane and auto emissions.
Support alternative energy, become educated on Fracking, Oil, Gas ,& Coal mining pros/cons.
Support legislation and get involved in projects that support environmental protection, especially water supply system reform, food purity and wildlife natural environment protection.
Support Zero population growth. The more people we have the more we use and abuse resources.
Think about future generations in all aspects of your actions.
Volunteer when possible (we need all the help we can get).
Embrace the plight of our fellow earth citizens and help them cope.
Eat less, eat better, waste less food. Grow a vegetable garden( even in pots).
Make the effort to recycle. Use re-useable bags for shopping and for carrying items. Return plastic bags to markets to recycle. If you cannot, tie them into knots so they don't fly around dumps and into trees & wildlife areas.( learned this in Maui). Cut up your webbed beer & soda holders (protects wildlife).
If you see trash in front of you pick it up when safe to do so.
Keep natural spaces trash free, go the extra mile clean up what you see.
Stay healthy in mind, body and spirit. Support natural medicines over prescription pharmaceuticals.
Enjoy sunny days and embrace rainy ones.
Do one good deed a day.
Don't be arrogant about being an American when it comes to overabundance and resources. Look around at the rest of the world and embrace your good luck.
Celebrate Earth Day, every year it becomes more relevant.
The Planet Earth is the ultimate natural example of Fung Shui principles.
"Connsumate professional" is a phrase that is well-worn these days, but there is no other term more apt to describe Marie Elena Scioscia. In practice for 25 years, and a regular fitness instructor at our 131 west 72nd street studios since 1993, she teaches what she calls a "classic, solid, body sculpture class" to a core group of students, many of whom have been with here for 20 years or more. Ms. Scioscia is a former dancer and board certified dietitian, currently serving as Head Dietitian for Alvin Ailey Dance Company, as well as maintaining her own offices on the Upper West Side and in New Jersey. She keeps her classes small, the better to treat her students to the kind of individualized attention they have come to expect. In her words, "I know all my students, so I know their strengths and weaknesses". She prides herself on her record of "zero injuries", and an ethic rooted in "proper exercise science".
