Tomorrow, April 22, will be the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Earth Day was created by Sen. Gaylord Nelson and first celebrated in 1970.
Things to do for Earth Day:
•
Find an Event or Volunteer Opportunity for Earth Day
•
Learn more about “environmental arts.”
•
Make a Solar Pizza Oven
•
Make a Pop Top Bracelet
•
Start composting. There are all sorts of devices made to do this. Many will be on sale for Earth Day. However, if you live rurally, as I do, or have a large enough yard, consider just making your own. My Mom’s approach was just to dump scraps (no meat) in a corner of one of her gardens. No fencing, no special container, just an area far enough from the house and out of the neighbor’s view. Lawn trimmings went on top and periodically she’d toss it. After exploring various "composters," I followed my Mom's example and it works just fine.
