Earth Day- What You Can Do For Our Earth & How It Can Help YOU

What is earth day?

 Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection.

In 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, peace activist John McConnell proposed a day to honor the Earth. 

Then the idea for a national day to focus on the environment came to Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin.

Ways you can help our earth: 

Carry a reusable shopping bag instead of using plastic ones

Ride your bike more

Recycle

Plant a small tree

Plant a vegetable garden-  

  Our food system is broken. Industrial agriculture is polluting water, destroying habitat and harming our health. The livestock sector alone contributes to climate change at least as much as all trucks, cars and planes combined! But you can help.

 Make a personal commitment to help change our food system by starting a vegetable garden- to eating less meat.

This will also help YOUR health as eating raw organic vegetables is the healthiest food that you can consume for your body!
