Your Guide to Earth Day

It's not easy being green, but you can do your part with a few simple hacks.

As we mark Earth Day THIS Thursday, we can celebrate improved air quality as a positive side effect of the pandemic, which kept us off the roads and generally clipped our wings. As if 2020 wasn't enough of a dumpster fire, last year proved to be one of the hottest on record.

Sure, we all want to do our part to pass a greener world along to our children. But where to start? Sometimes the idea of reducing our carbon footprint can feel overwhelming.

Here are a few of our favorite sustainable tips. Try them! Even if for just this week... or just one day. If you like them, stick with them.

Eat a plant-based diet.

Shop local.

Shop organic.

Shop at your local farmers market.

Walk instead of drive.

Recycle.

Aim for zero waste.

Avoid single-use plastic.

Embrace reusable bottles.

Or if you feel a bit more ambitious:

Compost.

We could aim to make every day Earth Day. But in the meantime, we have some Earth Day-inspired events this week. Join us!
