Earth Day is a yearly event
that teaches people how and why the earth needs to be protected. But I think Earth
Day should be celebrated everyday (not just April 22). People in towns and cities
around the world participate in Earth Day in lots of different ways.
Here are just a few ways
to do your planetary part (remember, start off small):
- If you leave a room, turn
off the lights.
- Instead of throwing your
cans and newspapers in the trash... Recycle them – it’s a blast, trust
me.
- Don’t be a litterbug.
If you see something on the ground, pick it up. Take a look in your own backyard
and around your neighborhood.
- Why not walk, ride your
bike or take the bus to where you need to go instead of being driven. (Check out
some safety rules when riding
the bus, walking and
biking.)
- If you live near the coast
why not help clean up your beaches? There is probably a group near you that is
already doing this. Have a grown-up give them a call and ask how you can help.
- Plant a tree (in fact,
why not plant two)
