Tips To Have A Good Earth Day

Sometimes it can feel overwhelming when thinking of ways to help our planet. However, there are several small ways you can make an impact. Babideal composed a list of 10 easy ways you can help make our planet better this Earth Day and afterwards.

1. Pick up trash. No matter whether it’s going out with a group for a cleanup, or picking up that candy wrapper on the ground walking into work, picking up trash is a simple way to make a difference.
2. Recycle. Make it a point to recycle the water bottle you just used or the plastic bags you have. Even if you don’t have a recycle bin, many stores have bins where you can recycle.
3. Shop at farmer’s markets. The perfect way to support local farmers and artisans is through Farmer’s Markets.
4. Donate to your favorite charity. Donating to your favorite charity is the perfect way to help. We love working with Watsi.org.
5. Plant a tree/flowers. Planting a tree or flowers is a great way to help our planet.
6. Carpool. Have a coworker that lives near you? Start carpooling so you can save money on gas and help the environment.
7. Use a resuable coffee cup. Bring a coffee cup with you when you go to work or any local cafe to reduce paper and Styrofoam cups.
8. Use a water-fountain. Instead of using plastic water bottles, use the water-fountain.
9. Take shorter showers. An easy way to reduce water is to take shorter showers. Next time you hop in the shower, set an alarm so you can hold yourself accountable.
10. Go on a walk. Get out and get in touch with Mother Nature during Earth Day.
