“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” — Native American Proverb
During Earth Month, we are urging everyone to show their commitment to being #DownToEarth. Whether you’re just starting to learn about forest health or you’re already an expert, here are simple ways to honor our planet.
Planting a Tree!
With over 1 million acres of National Forests requiring reforestation, your act of planting a tree plays a crucial role. By doing so, you contribute to maintaining vital wildlife habitats, safeguarding watersheds, capturing carbon dioxide, and creating stunning recreational spaces for future generations to enjoy.
Coordinate a forest cleanup!
Forest clean-ups can be as straightforward as embarking on an afternoon hike equipped with a trash bag. However, if you’re interested in involving friends or joining a local volunteer organization, the more participants, the better! The key is to have an enjoyable time, appreciate the splendor of the public landscape, and demonstrate care for our trails and forests.
Initiate a backyard composting bin!
The typical American household discards almost one-third of the food they purchase annually. When this food ends up in landfills, it generates harmful methane gases, exacerbating climate change and leading to increased droughts, wildfires, and insect infestations in forests. Instead of disposing of food waste, consider composting it in your backyard or even under your sink! Both your yard and our forests will appreciate your efforts.
Opt for Reusable Items
Swapping out plastic water bottles for reusable alternatives or utilizing reusable bags when shopping at grocery stores significantly diminishes the amount of plastic in our surroundings. Microplastics originating from landfills have the potential to spread and contaminate soil. Moreover, wildlife ingest microplastics, leading to illness and disrupting food chains.
Consider what other items you use that could be replaced with reusable alternatives.
In conclusion, Earth Month serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to cherish and protect our planet. By engaging in sustainable practices, advocating for environmental conservation, and fostering a deeper connection with nature, we can all contribute to the preservation of Earth’s precious ecosystems. Let’s continue to honor our planet not just during Earth Month, but every day, ensuring a healthier and more vibrant world for generations to come.
