To celebrate Earth Day/Earth Month, sit down as a family and watch eco-documentaries such as A Plastic Ocean and Plastic Paradise and talk about it. In addition, here are some other ideas you can do today:
- Go Vegan or Vegetarian for the day (or month) - Turn off your electricity and go on a long hike or picnic in a park! - Get involved in a community cleanup - Walk/ride your bike - avoid using the car if possible - Create a compost area in your yard - Switch your cleaning supplies to organic items, or make homemade cleaning supplies - Refuse plastic straws at restaurants - Bring your reusable bags to the store - Learn what you can and cannot recycle - Read the labels of cosmetics, toothpaste, suntan lotion, groceries, etc. to see what you are putting in and on your bodies - Be kind to humans and do a random act of kindness - Have your kids join or support Animal Hero Kids - animalherokids.org - Plant a tree - Plant an organic garden or support Captain Planet Foundation's efforts to get youth involved in planting/caring for school gardens - Buy a plastic-free product as a gift for the family, such as those from ECOlunchboxes, Klean Kanteen, Aardvark Paper Drinking Straws, Life Without Plastic, Simply Straws, and U Konserve
