Small things can make a difference

On this Earth Day I reflect on some one the small, easy ways I've found to make a difference in the environment. I've switched from plastic sandwich bags to reusable plastic containers. I've switched to green cleaners. And I realize that I can do small things to make a difference in my community and for others.

American Express has teamed up with TakePart.com to make it easy for you to make a difference too with Members Project.
