Combat Climate Change at Home Through These Ten Activities
Earth Day is just around the corner, and there’s no better time to take a pause, reflect on your community and engage in some earth-friendly activities. If you’re looking for some inspiration on how to spend your Earth Day, check out our suggestions below to get involved in a good cause!
Clean Up a Water Way Whether it’s a river, pond, lake, ocean or creek, there’s a good chance there’s a body of water close to you that needs a little attention. Constantly moving bodies of water, like rivers, can carry trash with it down from sources that could be hundreds of miles away. Clearing the water basin of trash, recycling and other debris will keep the trash out of the river and also prevent plastic items from breaking down into microplastics and other pollutants in your water ways.
Clean Up Your Street or Favorite Park Cleaning up the streets you walk on every day, or your favorite green space, is a great way to improve your community for free. It can improve the look of the neighborhood, prevent hazardous waste build up, and ensure everyone has a nice outdoor space to relax. Bring a pair of gloves and a trash bag to pick up any trash or recycling. Make sure to have a separate bag for recyclables so that they can be properly processed.
