It's the Earth's Day today, but it's our moment to look around, breathe
our air in a little deeper and hug our trees a little tighter.
It's a day for us to appreciate the unbelievable resources we have and
to pledge to do our best to protect the incredible offerings that
nature unfailingly provides us.
What will you do to celebrate Earth Day?
Consider partaking in one (or all!) of the five nature-centric
activities below that will give you the opportunity to thank the Earth
for all that she gives us.
Have a Picnic
To celebrate the Earth's "deliciousness,"
The
Nature Conservancy, an international conservation nonprofit, is
hosting the largest picnic ever by setting up "Picnics for the Planet"
events throughout the world.
Plant a Tree
Help Green World Campaign restore indigenous ecologies and lessen the
climate crisis in environmentally-damaged locations, by planting trees
in the communities that desperately need them.
Pledge an Act of Green
The Earth Day Network is encouraging its supporters to pledge 1 billion
acts of green. Whether your plan is to plant a tree, clean up a park
or commit to another noble green act, let the world know!
Teach About the Earth

protecting the Earth, The Water Planet Challenge gives educators and
leaders the tools they need to teach, specifically, about water
conservation and gives grants to educators who want to keep inspiring
their students long after Earth Day.
