Earth Day 2022

Earth Day is April 22, 2022.

Overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation all impact our planets ecosystem.

There is no time better then now, to invest in our planet so how can you do your part?

• Conserve water. The less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean.

• Choose sustainable. Learn how to make smart seafood choices at www.fishwatch.gov.

• Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable shopping bag.

• Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the light switch off when you leave the room!

• Plant a tree. Trees provide food and oxygen. They help save energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change.

One of the easiest and most effective ways to help our environment is by following the 3 R's Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cutting down on what you throw away can conserve natural resources and landfill space.

Plant a vegetable garden using recyclable materials like milk jugs, bottles, and old plant containers.

Composting things such as eggs shells, coffee grounds, grass clippings, tree leaves, black and white newspaper, printer paper, etc can help reduce waste and help the environment.

It's never to late to do your part to help keep our planet livable and beautiful.

“The Earth is what we all have in common.”
