Earth Day is April 22 and was created in 1970 when many realized that the environment was in danger and changes needed to be made. Each year, it’s a great time to remind ourselves about the importance of small or large steps to save our planet, such as recycling, reducing gas usage, more public awareness for public health, and more.
It’s also a great time to teach our kids that even small steps toward being greener can be fun! Check out these 7 awesome ways that your family can have fun on Earth Day.
