Celebrate the Earth: Here’s a Few Ways To Do So
HOW TO 
Tags: celebrate, earth, environment, cleanup
The EPA has the following suggestions for celebrating the Earth. Try it, you’ll like it.
On Earth Day—April 22—show your commitment to a clean environment by volunteering for a cleanup effort in your community or initiating a cleanup effort in your school, on your street, along roadsides, vacant lots, or other local areas.
| | Remind your friends not to litter. |
| | Organize a recycling drive in your neighborhood or school. Collect bottles, glass, plastic, and newspapers and take them to your local recycling center. |
| | Share the ride and the road. When going to work or school, try carpooling, biking, walking, or riding public transportation to reduce pollution. |
| | Check with local repair shops to see if they can use your old appliances for spare parts. |
| | Earth Day is also a good time to start your spring cleaning. Make sure you're properly maintaining home appliances and keeping them clean, which keeps them running at peak efficiency. |
| | For spring cleaning chores, try to use no disposable items such as mops and reusable rags or sponges. |
| | When using household cleaning products, be sure that you only use the amount you need, and that you read and follow the manufacturer's directions for use and disposal. |
| | For spring lawns, remember all pesticides are toxic to some degree. Try spot-treating problem areas with pesticides, rather than treating the whole yard. Plant trees, shrubs, or other greenery to help reduce carbon dioxide in the air. |
