Earth Day
Our Earth Day Festival (scheduled for 4/25/20) was canceled but we can honor Earth Day every day!
Why not start by furthering your understanding of problems caused by waste, litter, and pollution? And then, why not take your new knowledge and commit to adopting more earth-friendly behaviors?
Below are several links to informative video clips. None of the videos are super long and all are best watched with a family member or virtual group. After each video, discuss what each viewer thinks is the most important takeaway and why.
If any questions come up, or if anyone has a comment, idea or resource to share, please use the form below. We’ll respond via email and might also share on our Facebook or Instagram feeds.
