Celebrate the Earth and everything in it!
Earth Day Earth Day is April 22nd, a day to celebrate the air, the waves and everything in between. So what can we do to create a healthier earth? Here are 5 simple things you can do every day to save the earth:
1. Use a reusable bag when you shop. It reduces waste and most of these bags are inexpensive. Keep these bags in your car so that you remember them next time you go to the store!
2. Throw your trash in the trash can! Sounds too easy but over 6 million tons of marine debris enter the ocean through the storm drains because people do not throw their trash away.
3. Don’t let go of balloons! No, they do not float up into outer space! Thousands of balloons end up in the ocean and can harm or kill many marine animals that mistake them for food.
4. Precycle!! Buy products in bulk or with less packaging or recyclable packaging to reduce waste. Remember also to recycle your plastics, aluminum, paper and cardboard.
5. Tell others about the importance of keeping our earth clean! If we can spread the news, we can create a healthier earth for ourselves and our children.
