Every Day is Earth Day

Educational outreach is scheduled annually around Earth Day and America Recycles Day

Earth Day is April 22, a day to think about our Earth and to participate in "Earth Awareness" activities planned in communities throughout the country. It is also a day to make a small lifestyle change that will, over time, have a positive impact on the environment. A family discussion is a great place to start. What habit can we change that can help improve our air quality, water quality,land quality - quality of life in general?  Then sustain that change,because over time, this change WILL improve the health of our Earth! Ideas? Are you recycling as much as possible?(explore the links on the sidebar for a wealth of recycling information).  Start a compost pile, learn how to buy wisely to produce minimal waste, use up what you buy or tag it or give it to those in need, support your local farmers and those businesses that practice sustainability, start an anti-litter campaign, learn about what pollutes the air and what YOU can do to minimize that pollution, learn about good forest management, grow plants and shrubs and trees that are native to where you live, use safer alternatives to chemicals in the garden and home, encourage your kids to research a career in environmental science.
