What Can We Do for Earth Day 2023?
Happy Earth Month 2023!
This Saturday is Earth Day, and I wish you all the best this Earth Day as we think about our relationship with our Planet A and commit to do better.
There is no Planet B.
In the past, I haven’t given much thought to Earth Day. It falls on April 22, the day before my Mom’s birthday, and three days before my anniversary, so I usually have a lot going on—especially if it falls on a weekend! But with my renewed conviction about environmental stewardship, I plan to do something this year to celebrate Earth Day! In the spirit of sharing, I am throwing out some ideas of what you might do also to remember this beautiful world we live in.
What We Can Do
- Start a garden
- Read a chapter from The Climate Book
- Watch an environmental documentary
- Join an environmental group
- Write a letter to your representatives, state and federal, to demand action on an environmental issue
- Adopt and clean an area of trash
- Re-commit to zero waste
- Take a walk along a trail
- Visit the Great Salt Lake, if you’re in the area
- Explore alternatives to plastic in your daily life
- Ride a bike instead of driving a vehicle if the trip is short
- Check out other great suggestions on the Earth Hero app
What I Plan to Do
- Start some seeds and prep my garden area (With all the snow, I’m behind a month)
- Plant flowers
- Go on a bike ride with my youngest daughter
- Donate to an environmental organization (e.g., Wren)
What will you commit to do this Earth Day 2023?
