Some information about National Earth Day!

‘As citizens of the world, we can take actions protecting the Earth, its creatures and their habitats. Greener living can include more fuel-efficient vehicles or windows. It can also include landscaping for your climate reducing the amount of water required. 

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalEarthDay

• Celebrate by engaging in Earth Day activities in your area. Ways to participate include:

• Support and use recycling programs in your community. 

• Volunteer to clean up local parks and streets on clean up days. 

• Support and frequent green businesses.

• Use re-usable products versus disposable.

• Repurpose items that have outworn their use.

• Shop secondhand and thrift stores for gently used items.

• Use energy-efficient appliances or line dry your clothes. 

• Walk or ride your bike to work if possible.

• Carpool or make one trip instead of multiple trips for shopping.

• Encourage your favorite products to reduce packaging.

Numerous green campaigns launch events around the globe each year. Join one near you or organize one that fits your community needs. Be sure to register the event, too! For example, check out One Square Inch of Silence. Founded on Earth Day in 2005, it encourages you to participate in expanding naturally silent spaces around the globe.’ (Source) 

That’s it! Tiffi has to contact her friends so that they can save this date.  She makes a few quick phone calls and mentions all the details of things that they need to do to observe National Earth Day. Plans are made. Tiffi is feeling pleased because she can now understand everything that she read online. But wait ………………… She stops to give this story a little more thought. What about the endangered animals? She will have to contact Elsa to see if she can co-author another story with her.  

Will there be a follow up to this story? 

Stay tuned! ……………………………
