Celebrate Earth Day 3 easy ways

Earth Day is celebrated world-wide every year on April 22.  This year, the official theme of Earth Day 2022 is Invest In Our Planet. What Will You Do? 

We’ve collected a few simple actions below to help you celebrate: 

• • Stop – think – recycle
    Many things that end up in landfills take decades to decompose – and some of those materials could have been recycled!  For instance, a plastic bottle that winds up in a landfill can take 450 years to break down.  Before throwing something away, be sure to read on packaging or labels disposal and recycling instructions. 

• • Plant a tree
    Trees help filter air by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.  Trees also provide habitats and food for many species of wildlife. Don’t know where or how to plant a tree?  You can donate a tree through The Canopy Project on EarthDay.org!  

• • Educate yourself and others
    Everyone can make a positive difference for the future of Earth – take some of the quizzes at EarthDay.org to learn more and test your knowledge about different efforts to preserve and protect our planet.
