Earth Day 2018: Using Less Plastic, and Videos to Make You Think



Earth Day was started April 22, 1970. This year, we continue to celebrate the gifts of the Earth, our home, and try to be less careless about how we treat it.This year's theme is End Plastic Pollution. Consider...
  • Re-usable cloth bags for shopping mean less plastic in landfills or recycling
  • Use a washable and re-usable cup or water bottle instead of using disposable plastic ones
  • Re-think that six pack of pop with the plastic ring device holding them together: They choke birds and animals when found in landfills or water
  • Wash and re-use a glass container rather than buying something new in a plastic container
  • Wrap sandwiches in butcher paper  or waxed paper instead of a plastic sandwich bag


  • Donate to Goodwill...but buy from them as well, instead of getting something new
  • Dispose of that last bit of paint at a waste-disposal location, don't throw it in the trash
  • Challenge yourself to create less trash and recycling
  • If you see garbage in the street (or anywhere), pick it up
  • And don't simply toss something out a window or throw it on the ground. Throw it away!
  • Use it up, wear it out, or do without 


Here are some videos that may make you think about what you can do to pollute less and cultivate more.
