Earth Day Inspiration

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 — which started in 1970 — every year we demonstrate support for environmental protection. Or rather, protection of our Earth, since we only get one planet. (at least until they figure out how to get us to Mars….lol)

Protecting our planet from things like pollution and deforestation is a huge deal and countries, cities & states across the world remember this goal by having local charity events, marches and festivals in honor of the day. Even corporations are jumping on board to make efforts by hosting online events & sales. Going “green” is everywhere these days and while not all of us are into sustainable fashion or global cleanups, there are small steps we all can take to make this planet better everyday.

I visited the Earth Day website and they had an awesome page with tips. Here are few easy things we all can and should try to strive for:

use the internet – not trees
pick up trash – while running or walking in your neighborhoods
push to use reusable utensils/dishes & water bottles
use environmental friendly cleaning products

One thing I know we ALL have in common here at The Lilypad is that digital scrapbooking is one of our favorite hobbies. Creating digitally is a huge saver of paper products and trees. So in honor of our hobby I’ve found some inspiration in the Shop that can help us scrap about our Earth Day efforts. From recycling to upcycling and scrapping digitally I think these products are the “bees knees” lol.
