Earth Day is an annual event recognized worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Earth Day is observed on April 22 each year.
Do you think we can change the way we look at Earth Day? Instead of treating it as an annual event, make every day Earth Day, where we commit to do something positive and helpful for our environment daily. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a great website to help with this concept as well as simply getting you involved in some aspect of Earth Day.
There are many events and opportunities for you to take action for Earth Day; what will you commit to do? How about joining the Pick 5 Campaign? This is where you can choose to do an activity in Water, Land, Air, Energy, or Waste or you can share your own ideas. There is also the State of the Environment Photo Project that you can participate in.
There are even things you can do at home or in the garden, the EPA website offers tips for home safety, avoiding potential risks, and preventing pollution by recycling and conserving water and energy.
There are many options available in locally and globally and you have five days left to plan something. It would be great to receive your comments letting us know how you made a difference this Earth Day, April 22, 2013.
