Earth Day

One of my favorite times of the year!

A time to give back a time to start fresh and a time to get outdoors.



Yes, it's Earth Day!!

APRIL 22nd mark your calendars and start a family or group tradition.

This is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day!





Here are some ideas for the entire family:


•Never throw things away unless you use a trash container

•If you see trash on the street, pick it up and throw it away

•Organize a clean up day near your school with classmates

•When you no longer need a toy or clothing, give it away to someone who can use it

•Have a yard sale with your family or friends

•Use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins

•Buy recycled paper products whenever possible

•Use paper instead of plastic

MORE IDEAS:

  • Adopt a park or forest preserves where you go to often to pick up trash
  • Plant a tree
  • Start a community garden
  • Support eco-friendly companies
  • Ask your company to start being more responsible with their waste of paper

HAVE FUN & HAPPY EARTH DAY!!

If you have an event you want to post on here for Earth Day please feel free to post it.
