🌍 Earth Day 🌎
Today is Earth Day, which started in 1970, and its purpose is to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
Each year, there is a theme, and this year’s theme is “Invest in Our Planet”, which focuses on uniting governments, institutions and businesses to build greener economies.
But, while most of the power to change how our economies work is in the hands of politicians, there is plenty that we at home can do to help the planet on which we live by appreciating and respecting the natural world.
Help the pollinators by growing a variety of plants that provide a food source at all times.
Clean up plastic rubbish dumped in your local area.
Change some of our household products for more environmentally friendly versions.
Plant a tree.
Plant wildflowers and native plants in your garden.
Reduce, reuse and recycle in the garden.
Stop the use of pesticides or chemicals in the garden.
Conserve water.
Think about the impact that what you eat has on the environment, both in our own countries and abroad. How it is produced and how much food we may waste!
Instil a love and interest in the natural world in kids and young people, so they appreciate all the other residents of this world that make up the ecosystem that supports all life.
Today, let’s celebrate Earth Day here by sharing things we may be doing to help the ecosystem around our homes and in our local area, as well as all of the wonder and beauty that the natural world has to offer, whether it’s pictures, gifs, music or videos, along, of course, with our usual friendly fun and chat.
