Actually, Happy 50th Anniversary of Earth Day! That's right, every April 22nd, since 1970, we have celebrated our wonderful home, Planet Earth. But of course, besides appreciating our planet for the totally incredible place that it is, Earth Day is also a day to think about ways that we can care for our planetary home, and keep it healthy for the future. One of the best ways you can help our planet is to commit to recycling. And not just today, because it's Earth Day, but every day. I know that it is hard to get into the routine of recycling, or to even know how, but I guarantee that once you jump in and start it will quickly become a routine and you will do it without even thinking about it. Already recycling at home? Good for you! Check out this video for some important recycling safety tips, and then spread the word: Personally, I'm all about upcycling. What is that, you may ask? Upcycling is taking something that is no longer in use and giving it a new function, usually into something more practical, creative, and beautiful. For instance, my favorite purse. It used to be old tires and soda bottles, but now it has a second life, helping me carry my necessities wherever I need to go. Interested in perhaps upcycling something during this "At Home Earth Day"? Check out the video below for an easy idea that uses old soda bottles -you all most have one of those handy - and that is perfect for this gardening time of year. Comments are closed.
