Some people may want to host the whole family for a party focused on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sustainability<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while others might prefer to contribute to a community event in honor of the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to mark the moment but aren\u2019t sure how to do it, here are three great ways you can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">celebrate Earth Day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1.

Being outside gives you the chance to go for a walk, enjoy some locally grown food on the grill, and appreciate your natural surroundings. To show the Earth a bit more TLC, you can even do a mini clean-up around the park and throw away any litter to leave the space better than you found it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Host a Community Event<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to know how to celebrate Earth Day and enjoy a greater sense of community?

For example, you can share a favorite plant-based recipe so everyone can enjoy a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual meal together followed by a game of print-it-yourself <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepurplepumpkinblog.co.uk\/free-printable-earth-day-bingo-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Earth Day bingo<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5 Fun <\/b><b>Earth Day Celebration<\/b><b> Activities<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are countless ways to celebrate Earth Day. You can walk or bike instead of driving that day. You can turn off the water while brushing your teeth. Small, simple changes can make a big difference. But if you want to host a more organized event, here\u2019s how to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">celebrate Earth Day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with some fun, engaging activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Make Your Own <\/b><b>Bird Feeder<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earth Day activities<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is making your own <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bird feeder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You not only get to provide sustenance for birds, but you also get to use your creative skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building a bird feeder is an excellent activity for kids and a great way to spark their interest in nurturing the natural environment. If you\u2019re not sure where to start, take a look at these<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/curiousandgeeks.com\/diy-bird-feeders-from-recycled-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> DIY bird feeders<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you can create with recycled materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Host a Relaxed Cycling Experience<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cycling down a scenic route is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Introduce your guests to this by hosting a cycling experience where the goal is to take in the sights and enjoy the beauty of nature around you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re hosting a community event, you could also have an area where people can learn to ride or explore the idea of commuting by bike throughout the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Plant Trees<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A practical way to support the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sustainability<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the planet is to plant more trees. This can be as simple as planting a small tree during your<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/backyard-party\"> backyard party<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or working together as a community to get permission to plant several at a local open space or park.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you love the idea of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">planting trees<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but it\u2019s not practical at your celebration, let people know where they can join a planned<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onetreeplanted.org\/pages\/community-events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> community tree planting event<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Host a Clothing Swap<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sustainability<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> isn\u2019t just about plants and the great outdoors \u2014 what we wear can also have a significant impact on the world around us. <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.climate.columbia.edu\/2021\/06\/10\/why-fashion-needs-to-be-more-sustainable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Some reports<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> show that fashion uses <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more energy than the aviation and shipping industries combined. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that in mind, encourage your event guests to think more openly about shopping second-hand by hosting a clothing swap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask people to bring gently-worn clothes that they don\u2019t use anymore. Then, guests can exchange items with others to find \u201cnew\u201d additions for their closets. Have a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recycling bin<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> handy for any additional <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">donations<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that you can take to a local thrift store.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Make an Earth Day Pledge<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a less physically demanding way to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">celebrate Earth Day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, encourage people to make an Earth Day pledge. To do this, they can pledge to adopt more eco-friendly habits or do something that supports <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">environmental protection<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sustainability<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some great ideas for this include <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">composting<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, taking part in a beach <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clean-up<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, swapping <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plastic bags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reusable bags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and being more <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">energy efficient<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at home.

Be Inspired by the Theme of the Year<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year there\u2019s a new theme for Earth Day that focuses our attention on a specific <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">environmental issue<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In the past, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">climate change<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been a key focus. For 2022, the theme is \u201c<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthday.org\/earth-day-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Invest in our planet<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d Use this to help inspire your decor, activities, menu, and other elements of your get-together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. <\/b><b>Reuse<\/b><b> Items You Already Own<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know shopping for party supplies is exciting, but this is one event to reuse what you already have if possible. Look around your home, ask friends and family members to donate items, or see if anyone in your community can provide supplies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Opt for Sustainable Party Decor and Tableware<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do have to shop for new supplies, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pick up<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> goods that are sustainable, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reusable,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and eco-friendly where possible. Once you\u2019re done with your Earth Day party, you can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reuse<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> these items for birthday parties or summer events. The more <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reusable<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> supplies you buy, the less that ends up in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">landfills<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Choose Digital Invitations<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11645\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11645\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Garden-Fresh-Invitation.jpg\" alt=\"Garden Fresh Invitation\" width=\"400\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Garden-Fresh-Invitation.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Garden-Fresh-Invitation-258x300.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design: Claudia Owen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A major way you can make your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earth Day celebration<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more environmentally friendly is to switch to<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/\"> online invitations<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Greenvelope, it\u2019s easy to create and send beautiful invitations by email and SMS message.

Buy Supplies From Your <\/b><b>Local Farmer\u2019s Market<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re serving food and drinks, head to your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local farmer\u2019s market<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for ingredients and treats instead of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grocery store<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is a wonderful way to support your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local farmers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and give your guests a true taste of what your local area has to offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Choose an Accessible Venue<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help reduce the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carbon emission<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> impact of your event, choose a venue that people can easily reach with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">public transportation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Provide details on the best routes so that it\u2019s easy for your guests. If that\u2019s not an option, encourage people to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carpool<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or provide transport yourself to reduce the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carbon footprint<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of your event guests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Provide Thoughtful Party Favors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to send your event guests home with a party favor, choose something that matches the theme of your celebration. A <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reusable<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">water bottle<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is always a great option, or you could hand out packets of seeds so people can create their own wildflower garden or grow a plant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Plan an Impressive Event for Earth Day This Year<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earth Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the world around us and find new, better, and more sustainable ways to invest in it and our future.
