Today is the 52nd annual Earth Day. This year’s theme is ‘Restore Our Earth.’ Usually, there are street parties and demonstrations, but this year the 2021 Earth Day can be celebrated virtually. We found some ways to reduce and reuse items around the house!

4- How to Celebrate Earth Day at Home | Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, RESTORE
- Head out to the backyard, scope out a good location for a compost pile. Start recycling coffee grounds, eggshells, and scraps of food to ultimately decompose and enrich your garden for the upcoming growing season.
- Take the weekend morning to scour your neighborhood for discarded plastics, cans, and bottles for a personal cleanup project to help the entire community.
- Help in the Anti-Litter Campaign Kicks Off In Texarkana Area.
- Walkthrough the neighborhood and teach your children the different types of plants, trees, and flowers.
- Go to a local plant nursery and have your child pick out a couple of vegetables that grow well in a container. Use old plastic milk jugs as a container and enjoy helping your child grow something delicious and beautiful.
