50th Earth Day Celebration
Earth day is celebrated globally every year on April 22nd. As the spring is born and plants come to life we've been celebrating the Earth and the birth of the environmental movement nationally since 1970 when founder Gaylord Nelson a U.S senator brought awareness to the damage being done to the environment in the state of California and across the United States. The movement went global 20 years later connecting with others around the world for earth day projects and collective support for the planet we all share.
This year we will be celebrating our 50th Earth Day and it's time to take action, work together and help our planet now more than ever before
Here at Infinite Green Energy Source, our mission is to impact the way the world looks at energy production, storage, and distribution to make an impact on our global environment for generations to come.It is everyone's responsibility to work together to undo the damage we have caused to our environment and rethink the way we live our daily lives.
But this isn't just a responsibility, this is a wonderful privilege. On Earth Day we can make these changes together and celebrate the beauty of Earth in a way that is meaningful and connected. If you were waiting for the perfect time to get involved, look no further! Here are some fun and exciting ways to get started and make an impact!
Because of the current climate of global health due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the ideas listed below will be catered to the social distancing guidelines being issued in countries around the world.
Consider starting a compost
Using the instructions from our article it’s a great way to take things we would normally send to a dump site and create something that can help our gardens and communities be healthier. This is a great way to set an example for your household and get friends involved!
Start thinking about what is essential in your life, and what is waste.
Because everyone has been cooped up and may continue to be for quite some time, we aren't going out and shopping for unnecessary objects, expelling loads of carbon into the air without need and perhaps considering what in our home and daily routines is actually necessary to complete the regular functions of our lives. Maybe reusable towels would be better for everyone than paper options, perhaps we should open the blinds instead of running lamps on sunny days. What about that plastic tube of body wash... a bar soap is a more environmentally friendly option. These are just a few ideas, and they won't work the same for everyone but this is the perfect time to rethink the way we live our daily lives and start new and healthier habits! Brainstorming with family and friends is a great way to get excited about making these changes.
Share what you know and what great content there is about our wonderful planet.
Since we are spending that time inside, and inevitably on social media and watching TV, think about the content you are watching and sharing. There are loads of wonderful documentaries on all streaming services about the beauty of earth, the troubles we are facing environmentally and the amazing people just like you working to make a difference for future generations! Spend some time exploring new pages, learning about what others are doing to make an impact and share your own ideas and others on your social media page (this blog would be a great start *wink wink*) Just appreciating our planet and the joys of nature and sharing that with our friends and loved ones is a wonderful way to celebrate this Earth Day!
Think about donating
There are thousands, if not tens of thousands of organizations working every day in activism and awareness to change the troubling climate of our beloved planet. A few dollars to one that helps the environment or starting a fundraiser for them on social media is a great way to make a world of difference at these organizations even if you're super busy!
What we do and how we live our daily lives impacts the planet and all the animals, people and plants that live on it. If we make a few changes or share ideas together this earth day we can make a difference for years to come. Take time to celebrate nature, get out and explore if you can, learn some new facts about nature and share with a friend this Earth Day! Now is the time for togetherness and environmental change. We can't wait to see the impact you make so please share with us on social media @Infinite_Green_Energy_Source on Facebook and Instagram. Happy 50th anniversary Earth Day!
