Earth Day Should be Every Day

My Golden Year

Apr 22

Today is Earth Day and it is a great opportunity to. take stock of how I’m treating the earth. In this, my Golden Year, the day is one year older than I and therefore, has much reason to be celebrated as in its Prime. So while we might not be blowing out candles, I’ve been learning of a few, easy things you can do to celebrate this Golden Girl

.Happy Earth Day!

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing longer detailed posts on I am doing on a daily basis to improve my impact on the earth. Because lots of little changes (especially when we all join in) make big differences, and every day should be Earth Day!

Conserve water - basically do what your Mama told you. “Turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth. “On average, about two gallons of water flow from a faucet each minute. Something as simple as turning off the water while brushing your teeth can save up to three or four gallons of water per person per day. That’s more than 1,000 gallons of water per year or enough for almost 100 four-minute showers.”- San Diego Tribune
Garden with pollinators - keep those bees and butterflies happy with beautiful flowers for you and yummy pollen for them
Educate yourself - The Farmers Almanac
