Earth Day Ideas

The 40th anniversary of Earth Day falls on Thursday, April 22nd so celebrate this historic event by going green!  Earth Day is now celebrated worldwide and is a great opportunity to encourage others to preserve and protect the planet. One idea is to hold a clean-up at your local community park followed by a pot luck picnic with an emphasis on locally grown produce.  Don’t forget to use reusable plates/cutlery and cloth napkins.  Then end it off with the ultimate form of recycling -- a community clothing swap.  If all goes to plan, you could score yourself a fantastic new outfit! Earth Day is the perfect time to pledge your commitment to the planet even if it’s as simple as starting a conversation with your kids and planting some seeds, pardon the pun!  There’s still lots of work to be done when it comes to building awareness but by taking a step this month, you’ll be doing your part for the environment.
