This Earth Day, April 22, 2020, is the holiday’s 50th anniversary. Earth Day was founded in 1970 to educate people about environmental issues. This year, most Earth Day events have been cancelled due to Covid-19, but there are still ways that you can celebrate our earth at home.

1. Join Earth Day events online! Many organizations are running workshops online to teach people about the environment. The West Windsor Environmental Club is running upcycling workshops on Wednesday, April 22, on Zoom. Visit this link to learn more and sign up: https://forms.gle/Mu96vXa6Aaajy2CD8

2. Start a compost pile and a vegetable garden! Planting time is just around the corner, and now is a great time to start planning!

3. Plant a tree! You can order them online and get it shipped to your house.

For more activities, you can do a simple Google search online to find thousands of more options. However, don’t just stop on Earth Day activities. You can make Earth Day every day!

Turn off your lights and use natural light instead of artificial. Think about your energy consumption and turn off your laptop. Save water by taking shorter showers. There are so many ways that you can become a more environmentally friendly person and help save the world, starting today!
