Earth Day Activities and Ideas

by Sandra Williams

World GlobeHow about making a pledge on Earth Day? Here are some ideas to start with so we can take better care of the earth long term.

  • Turn the water off when not needed such as in between brushing your teeth or shaving. Take shorter showers.
  • Turn your lights and computers off when not in use to conserve energy.
  • Recycle your cans, plastic and paper and teach your family how to do the same.
  • Walk, bike, ride the bus or carpool when possible.

Here are some Earth Day events from around the world.

  • In Thailand, an earth day celebration called 100,000 Monks is taking place. It will include mass meditation, ceremonies and fireworks.

In Houston Texas, celebrate Earth day at the Houston Zoo on Saturday April 19th . Their party for the planet will include plenty of fun conservation activities. Jamba Juice is offering discounts to the zoo for Earth day.

In Toronto, Ontario Earth Day celebrations are on at DowsviewPark where they will be planting 2,000 trees and demonstrating how to reuse and recycle, making birdhouses, creating crafts and more. Admission is free.

  • At KW Now you can find out what’s going on in the Kitchener Waterloo area on Earth Day.
