What is Earth Month in the Mid-Columbia?
National Earth Day is April 22nd, but in the Mid-Columbia we celebrate it for an entire month with educational activities, tours, talks, crafts, projects, and special events.
The 2012 Video will be out soon!
Here is the one from 2011:
What will you do this Earth Month?
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Recycle. Check out the Community Guide to get the facts and visit http://earth911.com to find out where you can recycle various items. You can also look in your phone book for the closest recycling center or call your garbage provider for information.
Attend an Earth Month activity. Check out the Earth Month Calendar for tons of great activities going on throughout the month of April (and the entire year!).
Reduce the amount of garbage you put out this month. Can you get by for four weeks on one week's worth of garbage? Take the One Can A Month Challenge!
Organize or participate in a community clean-up or neighborhood beautification project. You can find an existing project on the calendar, contact your city to find projects, or organize your own!
Reuse. Repair, repurpose, trade, and/or buy with reuse in mind. BYOB (bring your own bag) when you shop, donate used clothing to thrift stores, buy used whenever possible. Get more great reuse ideas in the Community Guide
Participate in Earth Hour. Earth Hour is a unique opportunity for you to become more sustainable and do something positive for the environment. Join the world’s largest grassroots environmental movement by switching off your lights for 1 hour on March 31st! For more information visit www.earthhour.org.
