Make Earth Day everyday
Getting our children excited about helping our planet, is a reason to celebrate.
So, why not make every day, Earth Day? Science is cool. Creativity during exploration is fun for kids and learning about our planet is an adventure. Kids will appreciate any time spent sharing and enlightening their knowledge on nature, environmental awareness, conservation efforts, and possibilities.
Our family creates time and opportunities and prioritizes helping our environment daily. Our lifestyle choices and habits reflect our respect for the Earth. We aim to live sustainably. It’s going beyond recycling, it is making zero-waste and low-waste choices. It doesn’t happen all at once, and definitely not overnight, but habits can change.
As parents we strive to keep our families safe and ensure our children’s futures are bright. There is no planet B. When you role model an environmentally conscious lifestyle, your children will adapt one as well.
We are in the midst of a global pandemic, skies are clearing, species are revitalizing and carbon emissions are plummeting. It is a glaring example of how damaging humans have been ot the planet. Our choices today influence the Earth forever. Actions taken, or not, determine what will happen next.
So join me in finding ways each day, big or small acts that support and promote a healthy planet.
