Don’t miss your next Facebook friend request because it’s buried in your inbox. Organizing email messages can keep you up-to-date, uncluttered, and eco-friendly. Each email message that sits in your inbox takes up a small bit of space on a server in order to store the information. As these messages add up, the space they take up grows. So, each time you delete an email from your Yahoo! Or Google account, it helps reduce overall CO2 output by a tiny amount. Ask yourself: Do you really need all those old Evites?

What are you doing on March 29th at 8pm ? That’s right; I didn’t think you had made plans already. Take out your pens (no penciling in this event) and mark your calendar for Earth Hour. What is it? For one hour, people around the world will be turning off lights, TV, and any other electronics.

Meet up with friends and find something fun to do on a Saturday night in the dark. Check out the Facebook event page for more info.

Fashion Week may have come and gone in New York , but green fashion is a year-round pursuit. The stylish bloggers over at Ecorazzi recently wrote about the “Pick Your Cotton Carefully” campaign.

Picture twenty supermodels in eco-friendly t-shirts.

Want to hear more? Top designers have created shirts made from organic, fairly traded cotton as part of a project with the Environmental Justice Foundation and the models will be photographed in the T-shirts to promote the campaign.

You can buy these shirts on the EJF website. Past supporters have included KT Tunstall, who you can check out in the video section of the MTV SWITCH site to see her Global Cool interview!

Tie a bell around a cow and it may be cute, but watch more than 100 pounds of manure come out of its butt, and it becomes less attractive. In fact, it’s downright disgusting. And a little dangerous. Don’t believe me? We have the video to prove it. Check out this revealing, if gross, YouTube clip. All the cows all over the world are pooping and it’s piling up to be a big earth changing problem.

They suggest avoiding meat sometimes and after watching that, I think I may have lost my appetite entirely.

Face it: either you’re a proud slob or you’re trying hard not to be one. Either way, chances are that stuff keeps on piling up and you’re looking for somewhere to put it, and chucking it out is just a waste of perfectly good stuff. And they don’t have to be lame accessories either. Here are a few examples:

1. “Re-Mix” An Old T-Shirt: Cut your stuff up rather than buy it already cut, an absurd concept to begin with. And sewing doesn’t have to be patchwork pants; you can punk it up, cut the neck line out, or take two t-shirts and sew ‘em together. Better than spending thirty bucks on a new t-shirt.

2. CD Coasters: You’re just stealing music from the Internet anyways! Pretty soon you can use DVDs too!

3. Restring Your Jewelry: Because most likely your jewelry is already pretty ugly, so you might as well create new, ugly jewelry instead of buying more

These are some we just thought off the top of our head, and they save you money and stress. It’s liberating to rip it up and start again. Try it yourself, and give us more ways to tear up your past and start over again.

When buying products, less = more.

Think about it – if you buy less stuff, there is less for you to throw away. Then take all that money you didn’t spend and splurge instead on cool things to do – tickets for your fave rock band, for instance. Or yoga classes. Memories are way better than stuff anyway.

What would you rather do?

Cheer up, it's not all bad! Global warming can have positive effects too. We came up with just a few. Pick your favorite or add your own.
