Today is Earth day! If it weren’t
snowing we would probably be building our garden boxes. But instead we are going to have a
meatless Earth day Monday.
Here are 7 simple ways you could celebrate Earth Day today:
1) Plant something.
Plant a tree, plant some flowers, or start a small balcony garden.
 |
| You could even reap the benefits by growing your own food. Those peaches were grown from our baby peach tree and were the best peaches I have ever had! |
2) Go Meatless today.
This Earth day falls on a Monday.
Monday has been coined “Meatless Monday” by many health and environmental
activists. Or Make a pledge here
to go meatless every Monday.
3) If you live in a place with nicer weather, don’t use your
car. Bike, walk, or use public
transit today.
 |
| Plus you get some exercise! |
4) Go for a hike and celebrate with nature today!
5) Start Recycling.
Most trash companies offer recycling services at low or no cost.
6) Go to a local farmer's market and support your state by buying locally. Support your environment by buying organic when possible.
You don’t have to go extravagant to make a change in the
world. Remember, many small
changes can make a huge change! And don't just make Earth Day your only day to make a difference, make a pledge to keep it going year round!
Happy Earth Day!
Love these ideas. (Hi, I found you on the Google+ Blog group). I'm a teacher and I had students bring in some of the bottled water bottles instead of throwing them away and we made flowers to decorate our classroom with for Spring!
ReplyDeleteThanks, for commenting! I think it's so important to get kids of all ages involved in the environment! After all, we are leaving this earth to them
