Earth Day – Become more Eco-Friendly and Green

Happy Earth Day, Monday April 22, 2024. It’s great that more attention is being paid to eco friendly, green causes. Earth Day started slow, but has gained momentum every year. We celebrate it everyday as do many of our readers. Look for local events in your community.

It was first celebrated in 1970, and since then it has grown to become a global movement involving more than 1 billion people in over 190 countries. The day is marked by various activities such as tree-planting, recycling campaigns, and educational events aimed at promoting environmental conservation and sustainability.

Take time to help educate friends, neighbors, family members, and strangers about ways to lead a more eco friendly or green lifestyle. Only through extended enlightenment, can the cause succeed.

• Eat leftovers, do not go out to eat. Use what is in your fridge
• Think twice about buying new clothes or shoes, consider a resale shop or website
• Use a refillable water bottle
• Change all your lightbulbs to CFLs or LEDs
• Walk or take public transportation instead of driving your car today.
• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
• Recycle everything you can today. Learn new ways to recycle items.
• Plant a new tree in your garden
• Stick to organic, sustainable, and local products today.
• Eliminate your junk mail
• Start using a reusable bag
• Switch to an Electric Car like a Chevy Bolt or Tesla Model 3
• Put solar panels on your roof

Celebrate Earth Day by doing something new and eco friendly, while helping to educate others. Earth day needs to be every day, not just a once a year event.

The goal of Earth Day is to encourage people to take action towards protecting the planet, conserving natural resources, and building a sustainable future for generations to come.
