Earth Day, which occurs on April 22, needs to be more than a day to recognize the importance of protecting our environment. People should find ways to live an eco-friendly life and even volunteer for community cleanups and hosting events. Consider making a difference by finding sustainable products and activities for Earth Day.
People can begin with wearing sustainable clothes. Buy apparel made from recyclable materials such as polyester and made from organic cotton. You might also buy clothes from second-hand stores. Chemical-free laundry detergents and household cleaning products work just as well as regular cleaning producers and are safer for both the environment and you. Some cookware are made from biodegradable materials and leftovers should be stored in reusable plastic containers or even better, reusable glass containers. For the outdoors, look into birdhouses or bird feeders with organic seeds.
An eco-friendly lifestyle can extend to the office. Employees might use notebooks and day planners made of recyclable paper and write with wheat pens. Planters, including this walnut planter by Grovemade, will make any office desk look more attractive.
Many opportunities exist for people to help their communities in environmental areas. Those who volunteer to clean up parks and beaches should bring trash bags and latex gloves. If your neighborhood or local park contains bare areas in need of greenery, use a garden shovel and seed packets to plant new trees and shrubs.
People might lower their carbon footprint by biking to local places; therefore, ensure that you have a sturdy bike helmet and a reliable bike repair kit. Another way to lower carbon footprint is to shop at local farmer's markets. Bring a basket or a recyclable tote bag, such as Terra Threads' organic cotton canvas tote bag.
To show that they care about sustainability, promotional products companies should coordinate with local communities and non-profit organizations to support environmental causes. For charity events and community cleanups, they can provide t-shirts, caps and name tags for volunteers to wear. These businesses can also send tote bags, stainless steel tumblers, and Earth Day-related books for environmental groups to hand out. For Earth Day events, promotional products companies can create flyers, posters and bookmarks that display Earth Day facts for local businesses and schools to use.
