No one can do everything to combat the climate crisis, but everyone can make a difference. Whether you're at school, work, or home, you can find some ideas for celebrating Earth Day.
1. Cycling
Fewer cars on the road mean fewer carbon emissions polluting the air and contributing to global warming. Find transport alternatives that help reduce your carbon footprint and get you moving, cycling and walking are two free options.
2. Develop a water conservation plan
There are many ways to use less water, such as: installing water-saving shower heads; turning off the faucet while brushing your teeth; asking your parents or roommates to check if the toilet is leaking; using the dishwasher less often or only when full; or planting more in the garden. Full of drought-tolerant trees and plants that don’t require frequent watering.
3. Use reusable bags
4. Turning waste glass into healthier coastlines
5. Create a Backyard Wildlife Habitat
