Tomorrow is April 22nd, the 39th Earth Day!
If you're an old pro at doing the green thing, you probably already have plans to celebrate in a big way. But if you're a novice but want to do something quick and easy for the day, try these:
1: Walk, cycle, or take public transit to work, instead of taking the car.
2: Buy nothing, or if you need to buy something, head over to your nearest health food store or organic grocer, and purchase the eco-friendly version.
3: Plant a tree.
4: Make your meals using only locally grown produce.
5: Go vegetarian for the day.
6: Have an Earth Hour.
7: Wear earthy colours such as green, brown, rusty reds, terra cotta oranges, and deep sea blues.
8: Collect all of your raw vegetable waste (ie. banana peels, onion skins, apple cores, etc.), and give them to a friend who has a compost bin.
9: Change one or more of your light bulbs into energy efficient bulbs.
10: Go to one of the many Earth Day celebrations in your city. Check online for festivities near you. In Canada, go to Earth Day Canada.
11: Recycle everything!
So, what are you doing to celebrate Earth Day? Do you have any ideas you can add to our list?
