Earth Day is coming up and this year it's Monday,
April 22nd. Now is the perfect time to plan and
prepare so you don't miss a thing.
Earth Day is a wonderful time to commit to more
sustainable and green practices.
The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970,
and it's often credited in launching the modern environmental movement.
Here are a few things to keep in mind this
year if you have the time,
look into local tree planting and clean up events.
If you're looking to start small,
find ways to reduce waste at home.
Instead of all your food waste ending up in the
landfill,
start a compost bin at home.
This is an age-old sustainable practice that doesn't go out
of style and it's the same effort as throwing it
in a trash can.
Fruits and vegetables can complete the circle of life back
in the garden.
Challenge yourself to be less wasteful and more reusable.
There are so many swaps for single use plastics around
the house.
Eco friendly stores and brands usually offer discounts around this
time,
so it's a great way to save some money and
help the environment.
It's also good to check out local businesses that may
be hosting Earth Day initiatives.
Earth Day can feel like just another day,
but hopefully these tips will make it feel more impactful
this year.
