Going Green: Earth Day [April 22]

It’s time to break out your shovels, scatter some seeds and reap what you sew for this year’s Earth Day.  Many cities hold events on or around April 22 in honor of Mother Nature.  This is a great opportunity to teach youth in your community how to keep our planet green.  Hold a recycling challenge at your school.  Have people sign a pledge to reduce their use of electricity for at least an hour a day.  Plant a tree with your friends or find an event close to you to volunteer for. 

We made it easy for you!

Can’t find your town?  Do a little digging and ask others what they plan to do on Earth Day.  You can plan your own celebration!
