Every day we live with current affairs on our planet which bring feelings of upset, anger and distraught but today, today is a day for celebration!
Today is Earth Day- where we all have the opportunity to give thanks and appreciate the nature we have in our world that is often taken for granted by some.
April 22nd is a day intended to remind everyone of the importance of protecting our environment. It is also designed to educate others of what we can to do preserve and sustain our lifestyles with the upmost respect, love and awareness for our planet and the creatures living amongst us.
Climate change is heavily documented as is the need to reduce our carbon footprint but admittedly life gets in the way of us acknowledging these facts. Do we want our earth to decline for our grandchildren? Do we want to get kicked off of Earth? Absolutely not! So here are some ways we can work together to really push promote the day and make Earth Day a priority all year round! It will make a huge difference!
1. Car share. A great way to spend some extra quality time chatting to friends or your other half!
2. Better yet use public transport- find some new friends!
3. Wanna go one further? Walk more. This is great for exercising the environment of our planet and your legs, bums and tums! The more walking you do the healthier you are living and your ancestors will live.
4. Don’t litter! Ok so we all were informed of this since being toddlers but c’moooon throw it in the bin!
5. Save some money for a rainy day- turn all lights off when you can.
6. Energy saving lightbulbs might take a few seconds to glow but they are so much more energy efficient.
7. Recycle! You can just about recycle everything now- paper, garden waste, plastic and aluminium. This is a great way to reuse old items and make the world a more eco-friendly place.
8. Think about your driving style- speeding and unnecessary acceleration is bad for the environment and dangerous for your safety!
9. Keep heating down- cuddle your cats instead!
10. Think about water usage- turn the taps off when you brush your teeth and wash your dishes in a bowl of hot water rather than keeping the tap running.
11. Raise environmental awareness and conservation education amongst friends when you are out and about. Now that you know how to contribute to Earth Day, you know there are healthier ways of living and keeping our Earth in great condition for the long term and your future generation.
