Earth Day was created in 1970 to raise awareness about
environmental issues and inspire action. Here are some ways to celebrate:
Plant a tree or pollinator garden. Trees improve air
quality, combat climate change, and provide habitats for wildlife. Gardens
support bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
Reduce waste. Repair clothes instead of replacing them.
Recycle glass and plastic. Avoid single-use plastics. Create a compost pile.
Conserve water. Turn off the faucet while brushing your
teeth. Shorten your showers. Consider drip irrigation.
Reduce your carbon footprint. Lower your room temperature in
winter and raise it in summer. Consider adding more insulation or replacing old
windows and doors.
Give your car a rest. Plan errands so you drive less. Walk,
bike or use public transportation when you can. See if working from home is an
option.
Make your yard wildlife-friendly. Install a bird feeder,
bird bath, bat house or insect hotel. Build them from recycled materials where
possible.
