Today is Earth Day. It's a day to celebrate Earth in all of it's glory. Despite how small the world seems it can be so amazing and beautiful. I got a wake up call when I visited Yosemite National Park and was blown away by the vast beauty of it all. So today in order to honor Earth in all her glory here are a few things you can do:
1) Take a hike: Organize a hike with some friends or alone. It doesn't have to be far away or in a popular destination. Take a walk in your local forest, local water feature, cliff, foothills etc. Despite where you live there is always some nature around. If you can't make it out of town, visit a park. Take a second to appreciate where you are and how Earth made this possible. Breathe in the scenery and understand the magnitude of it.
2) Wildlife Party: Take a minute to learn about your local wildlife, Most places harbor some sort of wildlife. Take a minute to learn about what kind of wildlife there is around you. You may be surprised by how cool some of your local critters can be. You may even be surprised to learn that there are some species around that you didn't think were around.
3) View the world: Browse the internet and find pictures of different landscapes across the world. Take a minute to understand how that landscape is different or similar to yours. It will help you understand how diverse Earth truly is and how wonderful it is.
4) Help around: Find local groups that organize cleaning of parks or beaches and help them out. Volunteer to teach people about their local habitats and wildlife. Community outreach may seem boring in comparison to fieldwork but it is still very important to help Earth.
5)Find out ways to make a difference: Learn a little more about local recycling, local initiatives for conservation or energy saving. Any small difference you can make will be to the benefit of the planet in total.
Enjoy Earth day and make sure you spend it with friends and family.
