5 ideas to Celebrate Earth Day:
- Sign and share the petition encouraging governments around the globe to make Earth Day a national holiday. Driven by the belief that a love of our planet comes from exploring and connecting, this petition takes the stand that Earth Day should be recognized as a national holiday everywhere. Giving everyone time to get outside and explore our planet.
- Make a switch. There's lots of options: from plastic wrap to beeswax wraps, disposable coffee cups to a reusable coffee mugs, plastic shampoo bottles to refillable, aluminum shampoo bottles, or plastic laundry pods to Plastic-Free, zero-waste, laundry detergent. Pick something in your life that’s plastic and swap it out for a sustainable, earth-friendly option. You can be as ambitious as you like, or start simple. Every choice matters and it all means a little less plastic in the world.
- Volunteer. Join one of the cleanups happening around the US. Volunteer at the nearest animal shelter. Earth Day is a day of service to our planet.
- Plant a bee-friendly garden. Bee populations are on the decline and we need bees to pollinate our food sources. You can plant wildflowers to encourage pollinators like bees and butterflies to visit your yard.
- Support an environmental nonprofit. There are lots of amazing ones out there, from the large ones like World Wildlife Fund, Sierra Club, and Environmental Defense Fund, to small ones in your backyard. They are working hard to get kids out in the environment, educating people about this amazing planet we live on, and protecting it. Pick one and make a donation!
