Happy Earth Day everyone!
Earth Day is an occasion where we all take
the time to become more conscious of the way we treat our planet, but
in reality, it's something we should be aware of every single day.
It
shouldn't take a holiday to remind us of the damage we've done to the
earth. Every single day should be spent doing little things to
conserve energy and water. Walk places! Ride your bike! Not only is
it good for you, but you won't be emitting pollutants into the earth's
atmosphere. Obviously, conserving water is a big (and easy) thing to
do. Don't leave water running when you're brushing your teeth, limit
yourself to 5-10 minute showers, make sure your faucets are never
dripping, etc. Another one of my favorite methods is to go to the
grocery store with reusable shopping bags; it's a great way to save
paper and plastic.
One difference between Earth Day and your average
day is that today is one that should really be celebrated! Go outside
and enjoy the beauty of nature!!! Have a picnic with your friends or
family...trust me, there's no better way to spend an afternoon.
What are you guys doing to celebrate Earth Day???
