Happy Earth Day!
Although maybe not the most post popular holiday, Earth Day is an important one. How do you plan on celebrating Earth Day? Even the smallest changes in your every day life can make a world of difference! An interesting article on MSNBC gives some practical suggestions for celebrating Earth Day:
1. Be car-free. Walk or bike— not only is it good for the body, it's good for the environment too!
2. Make a bird feeder or house. Use a milk carton, a large water or soda bottle, or a pine cone.
3. Create recycling bins. Cut out pictures of plastic bottles, paper, and aluminum cans and glue them to the bins. Practice sorting together!
4. Make positive promises. Fill a journal with resolutions for how your family can help the earth. Decorate it with photographs, poems, and pictures.
5. Grow something. Plant a seed, sprout, flower, or tree in a pot, garden, or backyard.
6. Spread the love. Make and decorate Earth Day cards using recycled materials. Include an Earth Day celebration tip, and send them to friends and family.
