SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — CBS 8 is committed to Working for our Planet - sharing advice and motivation that we all can do to make small changes that can improve the state of our planet.
How's that for motivation? It's not something you have to feel too much pressure about. Just a goal you can try to keep for the week and if it sticks beyond that then that’s even better.
And if you take part and want to share how it goes for you, we'd love to hear from you. If you also have eco-friendly advice that you follow that we could share on the air, then please let us know through the CBS 8 app on your mobile device where you can send in a photo and details in the NEAR ME section or text (858) 571-8888 and share your idea!
