Earth Day is just around the corner, it is this Friday, April 22, do not miss it, this year we find new ways to celebrate Earth Day, but remember, lead a green life every day of our life, it is better than just one day a year, if you want to contribute on this day by doing something green but you do not know what, here are some recommendations.
Choose the one you like the most.
- If your house does not recycle garbage, it is the perfect day to start doing it, buy several buckets, (if you can colored or decorate them yourself) one for organic food, inorganic, plastic, glass and cardboard.
- Start a compost pile.
- Use your car as little as you can, if your workplace is nearby, go by bike, or use public transport, and if the bus stop is far away, use the bike to get to it.
- It could be the perfect day to clean your house, office or business, everything that can serve that you no longer use, donate it to a church, thrift stores, or the red cross if it is clothes or blankets.
- If you still have incandescent bulbs in your house, invest a little money and change all those bulbs for savers.
- Find a non-profit organization that fights for the environment, review their proposals and the one you like or inspire make a donation.
- Write a letter or email to some green organization, thanking them for doing their bit for the environment, it is really motivating.
- Plant a plant or more with your family and friends, it can be in the common areas where you live, or find space in your garden for another plant, there is always room for that.
- Get creative and find an innovative way to live green.
- Adopt a street, a beach, a park, gather many friends and help clean it.
- Enter the main Earth Day page and register to vote.
- Search the city where you live for Earth Day events and come to support.
- Spread with your friends and social networks to green sites that have information that helps improve everyone's lives.
- When you know what you will do for Earth Day, share what you will do, invite as many people as possible to do it, and when you realize how good it feels to do something for your planet, aim to do it the rest of the year.
Happy Earth Day
