Living Sustainably This ‘Earth Day’ (& All Year Long)
Living sustainably is about making conscious choices and taking steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle. Every small change you make can have a positive impact on the environment and contribute towards a more sustainable future. If we all do our part, it’s a wonder what a difference we could make.Each year, on April 22nd , Earth Day is celebrated. This ‘holiday’ is a day to raise awareness about environmental issues and encourage people to take action to protect the planet. Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 and is now observed in more than 190 countries around the world.
On Earth Day, people often participate in activities such as cleaning up litter, planting trees, or attending environmental rallies and events. It's also a good time to reflect on your own daily habits and see how you may be able to make changes to live more sustainably and reduce your environmental impact.
