EVERYDAY is EARTH DAY

Happy Earth Day Everyone! If you think that I’m going to talk about “please recycle the bottles, papers and aluminum to save our delicate planet”. You are wrong! I am here going to share 5 coolest ways that we can practice to save our Mother Nature that we all love!

1. Gardening. It can shade your house, give cooling effect to your house and it can also improve the value of your property. Make it meaningful for the whole family and plant any types of plants like herbaceous plants, flowering plants or even vegetables together with you family members. By doing this activity with your family, the relationship between each members of the family can be strengthened too.

2. Give it away. Before you throw something away, think about if someone else might need it. You can donate items like unused cloths or reference books to a charitable organization. It is surely a very great action to take! Besides doing charity, you can also save the nature.

3. Bring your own grocery bags. It’s so easy to do, just keep the bags in your car and bring along when you go for shopping. Moreover, the reusable bags are stronger and available in lots of beautiful patterns while plastic bags are not biodegradable and can take many years to decompose.

4. Instead of buying bottled water, buy a water tumbler. Bros or Tupperware makes great eco-friendly ones! Nearly 90% of plastic water bottles are not recycled, instead taking thousands of years to decompose, buy a reusable container and fill it with water. It must be a great choice for the environment, your wallet and possibly your health.

5. Share the info just the way I do now. Take what you've learned and pass the knowledge on to others. If every person you know could take one small step toward being greener, the result could be phenomenal! You can share them through your twitter, facebook, tumblr or keek.

We all have the power to make great changes. The earth is such a precious thing. We should realise that we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. So let’s conserve our Mother Nature together!
