Ways to Celebrate Earth Day

As climate change is impacting more and more people with rising sea level, flooding, and super storms, paying attention to our impact on the earth is more and more important. Here are some suggestions on what we can do to improve our relationship to Mother Earth today:

* Show your gratitude...give thanks to the earth for the food she provides.
* Give an offering...Sing a song in appreciation or give her a gift. Today is a great day to burn brush and return the ashes to the earth. Or get some worm castings for her soil.
* Start a compost.
* Plant or prepare to plant your own organic non-GMO vegetable garden. The bees are dying off from pesticides. Plant only organic decorative flowers, and many of your decorative flowers will be edible.
* Hug a tree.
* Take a nap outside.
* Climb a tree with friends.
* Ride your bike or walk today.
* Keep the lights off until nightfall.
* Take a hike or go to the beach and bring a bag to pick up trash as you find it.
