2 days to Earth Day!

Earth Day is Wednesday, April 22nd.. Are you ready?

Well, okay to most people - this day doesn’t mean much.. but what can you do for Earth Day this year.. Let me give you ideas all week in Celebration of Planet Earth!

** Plant a tree and spend some time outdoors ***

I feel like it’s been said a million times - Plant a tree - but besides the time I think maybe McDonald’s or some place in my childhood (foggy memory) gave me a tree to plant.. I really haven’t done this.. But as a city dweller, I think to myself.. Where do I plant this tree? I don’t even know where you get a tree sappling to plant, but I do know ACE, Lowe’s, or Home Depot garden depts. know.. So I think I’ll go get one and take it to a forest area and plant it.. I want it close-ish to the city.. We’re the ones who need to air quality.

Spend some time outdoors: Take an allergy pill and get outdoors.. Walking, hiking, riding a bike, picnic, sitting on your patio and reading, eating at an outdoor restaurant patio.. C’mon - I’m trying to make it really easy to get you outdoors.. I’m really into yoga and recently found a group that teaches outdoors. I also got a bike but it’s been in my den for months - and I just found out about a nearby bike path.

So let Earth Day just be the reason to get you to do some of the things you’ve been meaning to do or always wanted to do.

Here’s some additional motivation - hints on avoidance from Finally Getting Fit.
