First, just for fun...check out the first Earth Day recorded on Amigonet: Earth Day 2008 and Danielle's first Earth Day: 2010.
As for Earth Day 2014, keep doing all the green things you are already doing!
Take a walk around the block and carry a trash bag and gloves to do a little clean-up while you stroll.
If you happen to go shopping, remember to take your reusable shopping bag to eliminate a few extra plastic bags for the day.
Avoid
paper and plastic cups and bottles -- choose something reusable that
doesn't require processing and won't get added to the landfills.
Keep your lights off as long as possible -- open your curtains or blinds and go all-natural.
Plant
a flower. Or better yet, choose a perennial plant that lasts more than
just this season. Or even better than that, plant a tree for Arbor Day
(this Friday, April 25).
Take a moment to watch the sunrise (6:49 AM CT) or sunset (8:03 PM CT)!
And nothing to do with Earth Day, but just to make you smile on this beautiful, happy-to-be-alive day:
