Happy Earth Day! Here are 5 super simple (and free) ways you can honor Mama Earth today:
1. A good selection of free Earth Day printable games, worksheets, and crafts
2. Raid the recycle bin and upcycle an empty plastic milk jug into a watering can
3. Ride your bikes instead of driving to a destination today and discuss these facts about the benefits of bike riding
4. Drink tap water instead of bottled water today and find out here why disposable plastic bottles are hurting our environment
5. Upcycle an old t-shirt into a reusable bag following these instructions (Seriously, if you can cut with scissors and sew a straight seam, you can do this)
Depending on the age of your kids you can also: pick up garbage around the neighborhood; get a jump start on gardening season and start some seedlings; go around the house and unplug any electrical items that are not in constant use; take a nature walk/hike; hit the grocery store and try to create a meal using only locally-grown or produced items.
