Don't Be an April Fool...Celebrate Earth Month!

Earth Day is April 22, but this year, let's celebrate our earth all month long. Many communities are hosting events during the month of April which will allow citizens to come out and participate in clean-ups, recycling drives and other fun activities. Check your local community calendars to see if there are fun ways to get involved in your neighborhood. This could be a great way for your whole family to come together and spend a day doing something to help the Earth.


Maybe your family already recycles, but there is always something more you can do in your daily routine to be more conscious. Things as simple as turning off the lights when you leave the room or turning off the water while brushing your teeth can go a long way towards saving resources. Instead of packing your lunch box with disposable plastic bags, why not ask your parents if you can get reusable plastic containers that are free of BPAs and other chemicals. Walk or ride your bike instead of driving in a car. Don't litter. What are some other examples you can think of that would help you celebrate the Earth this month?
