Earth Day Everyday!We can make Earth Day everyday through small changes that have a big impact. Make sure you are recycling correctly. Keep the Recycling List on your refrigerator for reference. Use reusable bags, instead of single use. Donate used clothes, home goods, small appliances to thrift stores or other charitable organizations that can reuse them. Start a backyard composting pile, this is an inexpensive way to make your own soil amendments for gardening and cuts down on the amount of food waste that goes into your trash barrel. Celebrate the Earth by making a commitment to reduce waste, reuse materials and recycle all that can be recycled.
