This Thursday marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, a day to heighten awareness of the impacts we make on this earth. I'm not into the doom and gloom of global warming, but I am into being a good steward of God's creation.
Brainstorm with your family and decide on one way you will be a better steward of our natural resources. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- use reusable bags on every shopping trip
- switch to reusable plastic or steel bottles instead of one-time use water bottles
- plant a tree
- be part of a park or street clean up
- walk or ride your bike on one errand per week
- unplug an appliance that uses energy even when not in use
This week is also Turn off the TV Week...a great time to get outside and enjoy nature! Check out a book from your library about the trees, animals, birds and insects in your area then go for a nature walk and see how many different things you can find and identify.
We live on a planet that is full of exploration potential...get out and enjoy it!
