-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.
