How to Observe Earth Day

There are multiple ways the day could be celebrated. There are things that could be done specifically on the day, as well as changes that could be made, and things that could be done going forward. Here are some ideas:

• Clean up something in your city or neighborhood such as a park, beach, or river.
• Attend an Earth Day rally.
• Recycle—Recycle plastics or work to stop using them altogether. Use reusable bottles, utensils, and bags.
• Food—Eat local food, which has a smaller carbon footprint because it hasn’t been shipped across the country. Grow your own food, eat less meat, and begin composting.
• Conserve water.
• Save paper—Use online billing, print on two sides of paper, and use cloth towels.
• Travel—Be more environmentally conscious by walking or riding a bike, carpooling, and using public transportation.
• Vehicle upkeep—Make sure your tires are inflated and make sure you have a clean air filter.
• Light bulbs—Replace incandescent light bulbs with LED and fluorescent bulbs. Turn off lights when you are not near them. Install solar panels. Turn your thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer.
• Volunteer with a local environmental group.
• Create an Act of Green.
• Plant a tree or donate through the Canopy Project.
• Visit the EPA’s website to see events and ideas.
• Take the Earth Day Network’s Earth Day quiz.
• Watch video clips about the first Earth Day.
• Watch a film that deals with the environment.
• Read a book that deals with environmental issues.
