We are quickly approaching Earth
Day, the annual holiday when our minds and goals are united to help promote
change for the sake of our planet and our future. This year the holiday is
April 22, a Tuesday. Most of us won’t get the day off work, celebrate around
the table with a family dinner, or exchange gifts, but we can still find joy
and importance in the special day!
What will
you do to make your Earth Day memorable for yourself and impactful for those
around you? You have just a few more days to decide. Many cities plan festivals
focused on community programs that benefit the environment, whether local or
widespread. Attending a local event like this could inspire a new habit for
your daily life in your community. You could write a letter to your local
government leaders suggesting a change you find important, like creating a bike
share or improving emissions laws. Be deliberate in making a difference on
Earth Day; make memories by planting a tree, riding your bike to work, or
taking a stroll around your neighbourhood to pick up litter.
Whatever
you choose to do on Earth Day, let it be an influence to your own soul and to
those around you. It is good to serve those around you. Can you make your Earth
Day activities an annual tradition? Can you repeat your Earth Day activities
every week? Every day, even? Small changes can add up to big improvements.
Let’s make a difference for our planet!
