5 Simple Things you can do to celebrate Earth Day
Saving the Earth can seem like an overwhelming task but starting with small and simple changes or actions, collectively can make a big difference. You may not be ready to trade your gas car in for electric or keep a compost bin in your house, so here are a few very simple ways you can help the planet and celebrate it this Earth Day.
1. Support Eco-friendly Companies
What better way to treat yourself and help the earth than purchasing products from eco-friendly companies, the businesses going the extra mile (gas free) to create products using eco-friendly materials and production practices. If you’re thinking of traveling anywhere, YOCISCO has you covered with their eco-friendly line of travel bags, and eco-friendly underwear, made of soft and durable bamboo fabric, so you can start this earth day off with a fresh pair without harming our planet.
2. Enjoy the outdoors
If your day allows, bask in the beauty of mother nature by going outside and enjoying an emissions free adventure such as a hike, bike ride, or a simple walk. Keep in mind leaving nature as you found it when enjoying it.
3. Eat Local
There are tons of local eateries in every city that go the extra mile to ensure their food is locally sourced and fresh. Why not take a lunch break, treat yourself, and try something new. By eating at restaurants that source local, it reduces the carbon footprint of transporting goods across country borders and state lines.
4. Start growing some mother nature
Whether you have a huge yard or a couple small pots, growing more plants is always a great way to appreciate the planet. Take today and expand your garden or indoor plant collection. Plant some seeds and watch them grow or transplant a sprout and nurture it to its full potential.
5. Take a shower
Taking a shower seems so simple and maybe not a way to help the planet but by opting for that instead of a bath, saves water by 30%. So, if you do nothing else today to celebrate our earth, opt for a shower. (I hope you take those anyway).
See, there are so many simple ways to do our part to aid in the fight to save our earth. Whatever you choose to do today and every day thereafter just remember, There is no US without EARTH.
