What are you doing for EARTH DAY?

What does earth day mean to you? Is it of high importance? Will you do something special only on this particular day because you feel you have to?

Or is it just another ordinary day?

The fact that this issue is important enough to be elevated to a national day of recognition should be a good enough reason for you to take a closer look at how your current habits and actions are impacting the environment.

Now is the time to figure out and implement efforts you can enforce to protect our environment for not only this one day but every day of the year!

Research and encourage your family and friends to become familiar with and get involved in environmental education programs.

Identify areas in which you have strong interests. Strive to support or bring awareness to issues that have great personal importance to you or your particular community or surroundings.

Check out the National Environmental Directory http://www.environmentaldirectory.net/ for a directory of more than 13,000 organizations in the United States concerned with environmental issues and environmental education.

Get a head start. Early childhood education is crucial!

Right from the start, teach your children the importance of their role in helping to preserve and save not only our environment but the environment that will be their future!

Don’t miss this opportune time to really connect with your children. With spring right around the corner this is a wonderful time to plant some new bushes, trees or flowers! Educate children on the importance of saving our environment. Collaborate with teachers and faculty members to initiate a going green campaign at all local and surrounding area schools. Design fun yet informative flyers to distribute throughout the community to announce your new initiative. http://www.farfromboring.com/Promotional-Products/Eco-Friendly/Plants-and-Flowers/sc-609.html

Make recycling a way of life. Once the habit has been established it will be difficult to break. Listen and pay attention to what your children are most interested in doing. Work toward getting them directly involved to help support, maintain or improve causes that are important to them.

There are many worthwhile environmental agencies which connect people with nature. Use these resources to research and get educated on all the spectacular environmental efforts going on all around the world!
