How To Make Earth Day Matter

Happy Earth Day!
 
A great day to do a green, healthy living check in & explore new ways to support nature and the planet.
 
This year’s theme is “Invest In Our Planet”- creating a “partnership for the planet” that accounts for all people, and holds businesses and governments accountable. 
 
How do you want to get involved? Here are some ideas and resources to check out.
 
GROW YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Commit to learning more about healing the Planet. Find Books, Podcasts, or Documentaries about Environmentalism.  

GET INVOLVED

Help with Wildlife & Environmental research in your area. 

April's City Nature Challenge: Join over 400 cities across the world finding local wildlife (Texas link or Global Link) on 4/28/23.

The contest is simple: Find wildlife (animal, plant or fungus). Take a picture or record a sound anytime from 4/28/23 to 5/1/23. Share using the iNaturalist app.

MAKE A HEALTHY HOME

• Plant native pollinators in your garden.
• Learn how to compost your food scraps. According to “Kiss The Ground” Netflix documentary, landfill would go down 28% if organic waste wasn’t in the picture. The equivalent of taking 7.8 million cars off the road. 

 
HEALTHY BODY MOVES

​Commit to daily sun & walks in nature for your overall health. Bonus points if you can get near water. It’ll help you refresh and reset by calming your nervous system, boost your mood, and improve your sleep.
