APRIL 22nd IS EARTH DAY!!!
What a great way to "Give Your Time". Our family loves to go for hikes and I can honestly say there has not been one place that has been garbage free. Where ever you rome you will see trash. A great way to give back to our Earth is to adopt a park, sometimes this task can seem daunting but, the more you go to the park or forest preserve of your choice to pick up the trash that others leave behind the more we can see the difference.
HOW DO I START?
First set aside an hour of your time on April 22nd or any day that you can commit to,
Second see if your family friends and neighbors will want to join you on that day,
passing out flyers or e-vite's is a great way to spread the word about your fun and helpful event.
Third adopt a nearby area that needs trash picked up or an area that needs some sprucing up with flowers (Be sure to contact your local village to make sure plantings are safe for the area or are allowed)
Fourth - get supplies, you will need gloves, shovels, rakes, garbage bags, leaf bags, and plenty of water to keep yourselves hydrated.
This is a great project to do with your children it teaches them why it is important not to litter and also teaches them a great lesson about teamwork and what teamwork can accomplish.
