I know I missed Earth Day but!!!!! Here's a little doodle

I know the coronavirus is still running rampant, but the Earth is for once having time to breathe while all of us are inside!! The pollution in the air is cleaning itself up, due to less traffic and production. There's more animals running freely, and plants are having time to grow and become beautiful. This is proving how important it is that we look at HOW we affect the planet we live on and how to help it out. How do I help the air pollution? How do I help wildlife? I'm a single person, this seems really daunting. Well, just take a breath, step back, look at what changes we can make to keep the Earth as happy and healthy as she is now.

While this won't last forever, there ARE ways you can help the Earth out during and even after quarantine, in ways that give back to what she's done for us while we were away. Even the smallest effort can help her out these days.

- Help collect trash on the sides of roads!!! This stuff rots extremely slow and harms water and can choke or even kill local wildlife. Grab a trash bag and help clean up some litter!! (Safely, of course.)

- Be careful of what you throw away!! Use less plastic packaging if possible. and if you can't, recycle the plastics!! Or re-use them to grow plants such as strawberries!!

- Make a liquid fertilizer using food scraps if possible!! (Avoid meats, but throw grass clippings, banana peels, fruit scraps, etc into a bucket with some water and you can make a liquid fertilizer!!!)

- Use local food products if possible, or any fruits/veggies/meats that are as close as possible to where you live!! Less transportation to get to your plate = less carbon in the air!

- Try eating less meat if possible. If you eat it x3 a day, maybe try x2 a day! If you do it 7 days a week, maybe try 6 or 5! Cows cause a lot of methane gas to release in the air which is harmful, and cause a hefty percentage in a lot of countries. Try other types of meat such as chicken, and decrease overall meat!

- Use products that are Rainforest Alliance Certified!! Especially after the recent burning of a lot of rainforest land, this is extremely important.

Again, all of these are optional, and you don't need to do all of them!! Just one or two things per person can help SO much and aid in the Earth becoming healthier and happier!!

Feel free to list some other fun and simple ways to help the Earth!! She needs us just as much as we need her, and she's been working so hard recently, it's time to give back.
