Earth Day is an international celebration designed to\u00a0“increase awareness, responsibility and action toward a clean, health future for all living things.” Depending on the ages of your kids, you can find many activities to commemorate this.\u00a0 For older kids, parks in the area have “Clean Up” day, where you pick up the litter leftover after the winter. Even little kids can plant seeds in an empty egg carton or paper cup. If you want, you can start the seeds by putting them on wet paper towels in a plastic bag and leave it on a sunny counter.\u00a0In a day or so, roots and leaves will start to show up. Talk to the kids about what’s happening and then plant the seedling. You can also try to come up with special activities to reduce waste or energy use. Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
