My son and his friends will be planting something at day care. He is super excited about that as they have been talking about planting and the environment all month in their lessons.
It is important to discuss the environment with your children every day all year round. They will learn and retain which means as adults they will be conscientious of the world around them.
On this day make an effort to visit Local Nature Preserves, parks and/or trails. GO out for a walk, enjoy the sunshine, put on some gloves and pick up litter nearby your home. There are many things you can do each day to help make our Earth a healthier place.
There is a site up right now called "Plant a Billion Trees" where you can donate just $1 in an effort to repopulate the Atlantic Forest. A wonderful fact in regards to this campaign, 246,715 trees have been planted since April 3, 2008 when this program started.
Be sure to check out the Earth Day Global Network for more information. The Earth Day Network "seeks to grow and diversify the environmental movement worldwide, and to mobilize it as the most effective vehicle for promoting a healthy, sustainable planet." And you definitely want to play a part in such a wonderful cause. After all, this is your home, too.
