Every year, Earth Day is full of excitement for all! Everyone makes a post on social media either from their exotic vacation or their spring break beach trip. Sometimes, people go to to local festivals and rave about what they learned and how everyone should go.

These are all great things, but why does it only have to be once a year? Why is it only a social media post on a white sandy beach at a tourist destination?

If you want to make Earth Day everyday, here are some very simple things that can become second nature!

1. Google what's actually going on!

This is so simple and takes a couple of minutes out of your day and can potentially enlighten you for a life time! For peer reviewed articles make sure to make your research with "google scholar"

For starters maybe google "Palm Oil industry." Trust me, this is all you need to get started.

2. Get involved!

If you liked that instagram picture or enjoyed that booth that talked about local shelters and nature clubs, why not try getting involved?

Research the local area and see what clubs and groups care about the environment as much as you do and find a vast number of opportunities to make a change!

Try Sierra Club, they're everywhere and always looking for a helping hand! You'll be amazed by the vast number of people who care about the local environment and the actions they take.

3. Change your lifestyle!

This maybe hard to swallow, but your lifestyle is likely to be toxic to the natural world without you knowing it!

Back to Google, try calculating your carbon footprint with a calculator online. Think of things in your life that can be considered wasteful and aren't a necessity for everyday use.

Do you drive when you can walk?

Do you purchase plastic water bottles instead of having a reusable one?

Do you throw away paper when you known when you can recycle?

Even if you don't care about the environment, try educating yourself and see what you learn!

If you do care and find yourself feeling like you can do so much more, go out into the world and make a change!

Do it for the bees, the trees and all of the natural world in-between!

Happy being green!
