April 22nd is Earth Day, and if you want to do something meaningful on that day, here are some inspirations.
1. Plant a tree
What a great way to celebrate Earth Day. Vegetation is the first solution to climate change. Trees help purify the air we breathe and the water we drink, stabilize soil to prevent erosion, provide habitat for biodiversity, and sequester carbon.
2. Make a natural crown
Gather fallen branches, leaves, and flowers and string them together to make a crown. Wearing it to take photos is also very photogenic.
3. Get your OM on
Head to a quiet place, find a suitable spot to sit in a comfortable position, and meditate on the sounds and smells of nature. Even just 5 minutes of meditation can do wonders for your mental state!
4. Cycling on the trail
If you have a local rail trail nearby, that's great. If not, hit the designated mountain biking trails and enjoy the local environment in a different way.
5. Visit the farmers market
Not only are you supporting growers in your area, but buying local products also reduces fuel-based transportation like air, land, and sea freight. Food will also be fresher, tastier, more sustainable and more nutritious. By supporting local farmers, you'll put money back into the local economy, which is good for you and your community.
