I did some research and it looks like the world is using approximately 1.5 billion water bottles a day!! This is a lot of plastic. We probably can not reduce it all, but if we are able to use ceramic cups or metal reusable mugs, we can sure contribute to lessen the need for such an incredible production.

I went to the lake to hang up my little sign and came away with a big bag of trash (mostly recyclables). This is a very small lake and there are no facilities or trash cans, so I think it's something I'll keep checking in on - and picking things up, if necessary!

Sharing about the environment is the greatest gift we can give our grandson but seeing it through his eyes and curiosity is great but doing something is even more rewarding for our future.

Sharing about our environment with our grandson is a start. Just talking about nature, the plants and seeing it through his eyes and curiosity is the right approach for anyone but doing something is the greater impact.

We planted a locally sourced Queens Apple Tree for our almost 2 year old Grandson in honor of his upcoming birthday and Earth Day! He’s a lover of apples 🍎 and being outside.

Community can only truly be a community when everyone is involved in a common cause. Volunteering allows you to see fruits of your labor and unites you with your neighbors.

I don't use straws or single-use coffee cups, but I do use water in plastic bottles sometimes. I am trying to make sure not to forget to bring my reusable mug with me when I go places.

Working with my children on reducing their waste and making sure they recycle as much as possible.

It is definitely difficult to have a zero waste day, but I learned that waste can be reduced by recycling/reusing and composting.

I absolutely avoid impulsive and unnecessary purchases, especially if I need to use something once or twice.
