Do yourself and the planet a favor and take advantage of this year's Earth Day freebies.
There's everything from free compost to free reusable shopping totes. You can even visit a national park for free or tour a local green community observing Earth Day.
Here's the line up:
The National Park Service is hosting the first of five free entrance days at parks around the country this weekend in honor of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
While most parks are free to visit 365 days a year, more than 100 parks with entrance fees will be waiving those fees Saturday through Monday, Jan. 14-16.
In North Carolina, that means a free pass to tour the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills.
How much will you save?
It's not a huge amount but it may pay for a cheap lunch. An adult ticket is regularly $4. Kids 15 and under are admitted free year round.

And if you're a planner, here are the remaining four free entry dates for 2012:
All 397 national parks across the country will offer free admission from Jan. 14-16 to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
It's Friday, which means it's time for your weekly dose of freebies.
It's not too late to take part in National Park week, which runs through Sunday.
Admission is free, and events and volunteer projects will be held on Earth Day and throughout the week.
