I would like to ask you to celebrate anew week and a new Holiday with us. Today is April 22nd Earth Day #EarthDay. I know there is going to be a lot of celebrations today. Homeschooling Charlie means we will be celebrating #EarthDay24 in our classes. If your Homeschooling and studying Earth Day I would like to ask you to come and share what resources you use.
Each year on April 22nd, National Earth Day campaigns around the globe promote ways to keep the Earth healthy and our planet livable.
#NationalEarthDay
Since its inception, the organizers promote events educating the public about a variety of subjects including:
- climate change
- air pollution
- water pollution
- erosion
- recycling
Citizens of the world, can take action to protect the Earth, its creatures, and its habitats. Greener living can include more fuel-efficient vehicles or windows and it can also include landscaping for your climate reducing the amount of water required.
Numerous green campaigns launch events around the globe each year. Join one near you or organize one that fits your community’s needs.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL EARTH DAY
- Support and use recycling programs in your community not only today but everyday
- Volunteer to clean up local parks and streets on clean-up days.
- Support and frequent green businesses.
- Use re-usable products versus disposable.
- Repurpose items that have outworn their use.
- Shop secondhand and thrift stores for gently used items.
- Use energy-efficient appliances or line dry your clothes.
- Walk or ride your bike to work if possible.
- Carpool or make one trip instead of multiple trips for shopping.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
