Let's Celebrate Earth Day by respecting the nature around us. Here are a few ideas to inspire you this year! 1. Clean up garbage in the parks around your house or in your neighborhood! Go on a walk with a trash bag and gloves and pick up any garbage you might see around the park, on the street or in the gardens. Don't forget to recycle the plastics, paper or metal.... 2. Swap out your Kitchen and Household products! Try to use products that are safe for the environment. Think 100% recycled aluminum foil, compostable bags made with potato starch, and chemical free parchment paper. Use cleaners that are not harsh on the environment. 3.Plant a tree. We love trees! They capture carbon,cool over heated places and support pollinators. 4. Use Wildflowers and Native Plants. Wildflowers and indigenous species are not only beautiful but attract native and beneficial insects that improve pollination and pest control. Anything that you can do will help the planet! #earthday
