Earth day (April 22) celebrates the environment and Earth, and is intended to raise awareness about environmental issues. Here are some suggestions for meaningful Earth day celebrations:
1. Plant a tree, or any plant really. Trees use carbon dioxide to make oxygen, so they use up excess carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Have an Earth day meal, using organic or home-grown food. (See suggestion 9)
3. Learn more about environmental issues, such as climate change.
4. Go on a rubbish walk- walk pretty much anywhere, collecting rubbish and litter. Remember to wear gloves.
5. Have a clothes swap- invite people over, and have everyone bring old clothes that they don't want anymore; everyone (including you!) donates clothes and swaps them for other people's unneeded ones.
6. Raise money for an important cause-maybe for a group helping animals that have lost their habitats, or for a charity such as Oxfam or Amnesty International.
7. Try and use as little electricity as possible- turn off your computer and TV, and try using candles instead of electric lights.
8. Go outside, and enjoy the natural world outdoors.
9. Go to a farmers market; farmers markets usually sell lots of fresh food, fruit and veggies. (See suggestion 2)
10. Hug a tree- we know how beneficial trees are for the environment, so enjoy them and show them some love.
Thanks for reading! Have a great Earth day!
