Earth Day

Today is Earth Day.  If you haven't already had a conversation with your children about what this entails.....I suggest you do so.






Not sure what to do to celebrate Earth Day?  No problem.....here are a few suggestions

Plant a tree (and don't forget to protect it with fencing if you live in a deer infested area)



Scatter some wildflower seeds

Plant some organic seeds in a pot....you can do this anywhere...check out this link for a how to

Walk/bike more.....drive less

Recycle everything in your garbage....it may take a bit more time but it's worth it

Recycle your clothing.....go through your closets and pull out everything you don't wear and donate them to the local charity shop

Aim for a more organic lifestyle - the less chemicals used to create items/foods the less chemicals in the atmosphere

Unplug - turn off lights, instead of T.V. computer, video games get outside and breath in some air or stay inside and read a book together, do an art project

In South Korea  an Economic group remade the Gangnam Style video and replaced the wording to "Eco Style"...I have watched this on youtube and will spare you the link.....the song was bad enough the first time round LOL

It's basic stuff we all know.....Earth Day just helps to give us an extra push ...make an effort....do something different.  Ask your child what they did at school today for Earth Day....they can maybe educate you!
