Each year on April 22, more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day to protect the planet from things like pollution and deforestation. Here are some specific things you can do:
Look for ways to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle our natural resources in order to send less waste to landfills.
Get involved in environmental work in your local community by cleaning up parks and other efforts to make communities greener.
Plant trees.
Buy reusable bags that you can use over and over.
Conserve energy at home by turning off lights and electronics when they are not in use.
Reduce paper waste by thinking twice before printing things, whether you're at home or at work.
Walk, ride a bike, carpool, or take public transportation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (and get more exercise).
Pick up litter.
Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth or wash dishes.
Buy local to reduce shipping distances for food. (Doing that also supports local providers).
I tend to use more water than I need, leaving tap on while I wash and move about. Good reminders.
