Earth Day Awareness and Activities

Okay, so I know this week was supposed to be about relationships, and divorce (coping with, avoiding, and handling it with your family) but in celebration of Earth Day today, I had to break the depressing tone, and share with you some tips, tricks, and ideas for how to celebrate and teach your family about Earth Day.

This is the perfect time to introduce your family to recycling, and cleaning up the area around them. Teach them about conservation, and how they can play a role in making the environment a cleaner, safer place for all of us.

Let them use the computer to make signs to post around the house to remind people to place their trash in the appropriate recycling bins (that they can also decorate), to remind people to turn off the water and lights when not in use, etc.

Remember, we should celebrate and cherish the Earth all year long, but this day is especially important. You can encourage your children to organize a clean up of a local park, or lake. Not only will this do wonders for thier self esteem and importance, but it will help a cause that needs all the help it can get!
