Celebrate Earth Day on Monday, April 22 by thinking of small things that you and your family can do every day to help the Earth.  Some ideas include:

• Recycle everything you can, either by turning recyclable trash into a recycling center, repurposing an item into something else to continue using it, or passing it along to someone else if you do not need it anymore.
• Shop at secondhand stores, thrift stores, yard sales, and similar places instead of buying new items.
• When buying new items, look for things that have very little packaging that needs to be thrown away.
• Turn lights off when you leave a room.
• Plant trees to produce more oxygen or plants that will attract bees and butterflies.
• Don’t let the water run when you are brushing your teeth.
• Combine your errands into one trip so that you get several things done at one time instead of making individual trips out daily, which uses more gas.
