Great Activities for Earth Day!

The 50^th anniversary of Earth Day comes at a time when people feel uniquely connected — yet isolated — by the current COVID-19 pandemic. While many will celebrate virtually, there are lots of great resources on how to take action at home. We invite you to honor this holiday by considering simple lifestyle changes, learning about environmental issues you and your children care about and making fun environmentally friendly art.Educational Resources:

• Learn about endangered species, biodiversity and more with the Wild Classroom Daily Activity Plans from WWF (for groups and individuals)
• Learn about climate change and environmental issues, such as water, air, ecosystems, energy, recycling and more

Earth-Loving Lifestyle Tips To Reduce, Reuse and Recycle:

• Cultivate energy saving habits
• Optimize your diet
• Reduce consumption, share more
• Recycle all your paper, glass, aluminum, plastic and electronics

Earth-Friendly Art Projects:

Now that we are “social distancing” and getting many of our necessities shipped to our homes to avoid stores and help “flatten the curve,” cardboard is coming through our front door like never before! Cardboard is a versatile material that can be cut, bent, painted, wrapped, and configured in almost any way imaginable. Whether purely just for fun or to create something practical, let’s up-cycle our cardboard and give our packaging a new purpose!Check out some creative ideas for turning cardboard into fun and functional items for you and your family to enjoy!

We’d love to see your creativity! Please share on social media and use #COVIDCardboardCreations. Thank you!
