On Friday, April 22, people all over the world will join together to celebrate our planet – don’t be left out on the celebrations! Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect about what you are doing to help protect the environment. There are many ways that you can celebrate alone and with others. Here are some ideas:
- Planet a tree. This helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cleans pollution, secures soil in place to prevent erosion, and provides homes for a lot of biodiversity.
- Make nature crafts. For example, build a birdhouse. This will play an important role in every ecosystem.
- Learn and teach others about the environment. Research issues such as pollution, endangered species, water shortages, recycling, and climate change. Teach others as well.
- Reduce, reuse and recycle all day long. Buy as little as possible during this day, and avoid items that cannot be recycled.
- Wear green and/or brown. Think tree and be like one with the environment.
- Cook a special Earth Day meal. Use locally organic produced foods that have minimal impact on the environment.
- Ride your bike or other forms of human powered transportation. This will reduce the amount of air pollution AND save you money at the pump.
