 | From Diane Schmidt, your About Home Editor Earth Day is a great excuse to spend the day with your kids at the local aquarium or by planting a tree or starting that organic vegetable garden. You could even throw a party to celebrate the earth while at the same time reducing your household waste. After all, if each of us takes even one small step towards living green we can - together - make a true and defining difference. | |
How to Celebrate Earth Day in Your Community
Whether you attend a local earth day rally, plant something green or commute to your favorite green space, doing even just one thing with your kids to promote and support our planet is a great way to pass on true stewardship.

Plant a Tree
A lot of communities will be hosting tree planting sessions and it's a great way to introduce kids to the idea that what we do today effects what happens tomorrow. Nothing says that more than seeing a sapling grow into a strong, healthy tree that your kids and their kids and their kids will experience and enjoy.

Make a Raised Bed Garden
My sister's stepchildren used to hate vegetables that is until she introduced them to gardening and how much fun it can be to grow your own food. She started by making them each a raised bed that they could call their own. So this Earth Day introduce your little ones to the wonder of gardening, harvesting and enjoying what they can grow.

Plan an Earth Day Party
Earth Day isn't just about thinking green, it's about celebrating our terrestrial home. So why not host a party in its honor? Invite the neighbors, your family and friends and join the billion or more people from around the world who'll be paying tribute to all things green.
