Earth Day is April 22nd this year. Do you do anything special on that day like work outside or teach your children anything about the enviornment?


I know a lot schools have some sort of program where the kids will plant trees or work in the garden on that day. I'd like to implement something at home though.

Nope - I've never done anything with the girls. I know at school she is growing flowers - but thats cause they were learning about the parts of a plant.

No, they do something at school, and I think Earth Day is kind of dumb. I'm not even sure it was around when I was a kid. I mean, how many new holidays do we need? I'm sure in classrooms across the countries, "An Inconvenient Truth" will be played over and over. JMO....

I'm celebrating with Tinkerbell and about 40 other people!
We will have a Space Walk, two cakes (One vanilla with praline filling for PJ and one chocolate for Emmie.), ice cream, a Tinkerbell Pinata, hot dogs, nachos, homemade caramel popcorn, etc...

It's the day I am having PJ and Emmie's 4th birthday party, I had no idea it was Earth Day.

I only did something once for Earth Day. When I was in college they had and Earth Day fair and had different vendors there. That is really the only Earth Day I remember. I haven't really paid much attention to earth day since then.

Earth day was around while I was in school. I remember each year in middle school working in the school's garden (all the flowers out front) on that day.
I do think it is important to teach our children about preserving the enviornment.
