The Rise & Return of Earth Day

While Easter usually steals the show in April, Earth Day is celebrated on the 22nd of April and advocates for a pretty egg-straordinary cause. Earth’s ongoing challenges have only fueled people to celebrate the day more every year going from twenty million Americans to over one billion people worldwide in 55 years. That was accomplished by community events, personal actions, and global celebrations!

Investment: Low Risk, High Reward

Reusable items don’t just make life easier, cheaper, and stylish; So far the use of reusable items has saved Earth roughly 8-10 years by reducing pollution! They help by reducing waste in landfills and conserving natural resources. Many people already use reusable shopping bags, water bottles, and straws but to take things a step further, some opt for rechargeable batteries, cloth paper towels, and even silicone zip-top bags. Celebrate Earth day with a treat!

 Wood You Help?

Yes, picking up trash is one of the more popular ways to celebrate Earth Day, but if you want to branch out, planting trees is an unbe-leaf-ably helpful way to protect the planet. Trees are like nature’s band aid from pollution. They clean the air, support animals, and it’s fulfilling. After all, it’s in our nature. 

Pick Up Power

One of the most popular ways people choose to celebrate earth day is picking up trash! Whether it’s a solo or community clean up, picking up trash protects Earth big time by saving wildlife and preventing pollution. 

Don’t Be Trashy

If there’s one thing you shouldn’t do on Earth Day, it’s littering. Not only does it pollute the environment, but it also harms human and animal lives. Plus it gives volunteers that much more trash to pick up! It’s just as bad as showing up to the gym with donuts. Earth deserves better, especially on the day dedicated to helping. Lets litter—ally just put the trash in the can.
