Happy Earth Day 2021!

We have a responsibility to educate ourselves and others in all the ways necessary to preserve and honor our beautiful planet. Below are just a few things we can do.

Ways to Safeguard the Environment

  • Reduce, reuse, recycle
  • Volunteer for community cleanups
  • Educate – yourself & others

  • Choose sustainable
  • Shop wisely – buy LESS plastic & take reusable bags
  • Use energy efficient lightbulbs
  • Plant a tree
  • Choose non-toxic chemicals for home & business use
  • Bike more, drive less

Another way to help is to vote for leaders and legislation that address:

  • the urgent problems of climate change
  • greedy corporations who put profits ahead of people & health
  • renewable forms of energy vs fossil fuels 
  • clean air & water protections

There’s so many more reforms that need to be done. Committing to even one or two changes will make a difference for future generations. We were handed a gift; let’s pay it forward!
