Happy Earth Day! Today we celebrate the our planet and come together in various ways to work toward protecting and conserving it! We’ve rounded up 10 ways to participate in the Earth Day celebration at home:
- Tune into Earth Day Live!
- Start recycling with Terracycle. Their Zero Waste Boxes can recycle nearly every imaginable waste item.
- Build a bird feeder from a toilet paper roll, peanut butter and bird seed!
