Want to get involved in Earth Day, but don't know what to do? Here are some ideas for you to get involved :)
-Plant a tree! Trees reduce greenhouse gases, clean pollutions, provides homes for a diversity of animal and plant life and secures soil from eroding.
-Visit a local recycling facility and learn about how you can reduce, reuse and recycle.
-Participate in an ACS annual environmental awareness campaign in your area. Learn how Chemists celebrate Earth Day.
-Plan an event with friends to go visit a local park, highway or beach and pick up litter.
-Go on a nature hike. Spend some time appreciating the beauty of our planet. Go to the park or nearby trail, or visit a new place every year on Earth Day.
-Ride your bike or walk instead of driving in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
-Engage others in conversations about your environmental concerns. Raise awareness about Earth Day!
-Learn more about the environment. Earth Day is a good opportunity to make a commitment to learning more about the environment.
