On Earth Day this year, take a moment to appreciate all that makes our planet special. From the natural beauty of the Earth to the countless creatures that call it home, you can celebrate how fortunate you are to live on this precious planet. Earth Day should inspire people everywhere to take action and make a difference in the environment.

Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year. It originated in 1974 when U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson organized a day of protest against Earth Day celebrations being held by other nations. Here are 4 ways you can celebrate Earth Day by changing the world around you in simple ways.

1. Save Water While Brushing Your Teeth

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average person can conserve up to 3 gallons of water per day by turning off the faucet when brushing their teeth. You don’t even have to sacrifice convenience – just turn off the faucet and use a cup or water bottle to rinse your mouth out.

This is a simple way to conserve water that everyone can do, and it’s a great way to help reduce your impact on Earth Day. So why not give it a try? You may find that you enjoy saving water – and helping the planet – without any extra effort.

2. Turn Off the Lights for Earth Day

Did you know that the average American family wastes $100 a year on electricity that they don’t need? In honor of Earth Day, take a pledge to turn off the lights in your home when you’re not using them. Not only will this help reduce your energy bill, but it will also reduce your carbon footprint.

In fact, if every American family turned off the lights when they aren’t using them, they could save up to $10 billion in energy costs each year. That’s a lot of money that could be put back into our economy!

So this Earth Day, if you turn off the lights in your home when you’re not using them, you’ll be doing your part to help protect our planet and save some money at the same time!

3. Use Reusable Food and Drink Containers

Every day, companies worldwide produce 2.5 billion disposable food containers. Many can’t even be recycled. They end up in our landfills and oceans where they take hundreds of years to decompose. This Earth Day, choose reusable food or drink containers that won’t hurt the environment. When buying reusable containers, you can look for ones that are made of cloth or silicone. And they can come in many different colors and designs, so you can find one that fits your style.
