Appreciating Earth Day 2020
There are many things we can do while social distancing to reduce our ecological footprint, combat climate change, and foster greater awareness and appreciation for our planet ― both on Earth Day and throughout the year. Below are a few tips to get started:
- Plant/transplant a tree in your yard
- Start composting in your home or yard
- Cook plant-based or plant-centered meals
- Pick up litter around your home/yard
- Create a home recycling process
- Watch nature documentaries like Planet Earth, March of the Penguins and Our Planet
- Make art using recycled materials
- Use energy efficient lightbulbs
- Start growing your own herbs
- Take shorter showers – and commit to doing this more often
While we may be acknowledging Earth Day differently this year, we encourage everyone to be proactive for all communities and our planet. Spend time with your family, work in your yard, go for a walk, and enjoy another Earth Day.
