Ideas for celebrating Earth Day (great for homeschooling)

@See “Earth” – the Disneynature film.

@Plant a tree – buy a tree for your yard or sponsor the planting of a tree.

@Plan an eco-friendly meal – eat organic, locally-grown produce and get a taste of the earth!

@Attend an Earth event – check your local zoo, botanical gardens, nature center or community’s programs.

@Read a book – if your children are burnt out on their own nature books, check out the local library for some new selections.

@Clean out the clutter – and donate what you own that no longer has a purpose, to keep it out of the trash and landfills.

@Go for a walk – your own neighborhood or a local hiking path can remind you of the wonder of nature.

@Pick up some trash – this can be coupled with your walk and accomplish even more!

@Break ground for a garden – as organic as you can get!

@Adopt nature – sponsor an endangered species or an acre of rainforest.

@Make recycled crafts – your own home (and recycle bin) is full of supplies!

@Change a habit – whether it’s cleaning products or a pledge to recycle more, every change is a good change.

@Switch to CFLs – buy some! And when an old incandescent burns out, switch ‘em out!

@USE those reusable bags – vow to make this a priority!

@“Talk about it!” – talk about what Earth Day really means… with your kids, your friends, your neighbor… anyone that might need to know or need a little “push!”

I've got Earth Day marked on my calendar. I think I might use my pens made out of paper that day!

I really like the Blue man group...I have seen one of thier performances and it was very creative and cool and colorful....all without a spoken word from them and always a dead pan expression on thier face.....
