Earth Day was started in 1970 to show support for environmental protection. Each year on April 22, many communities hold various events to educate and support Earth Day.  

Indiana's celebration is being held at Military Park at White River State Park from 11AM to 4PM.  More information can be found here

Looking for a few tips to help save the environment? Why not try some of these:


  • Plant an herb garden. You don't need a large outdoor area. You can do an indoor container garden, too. I've seen some super cute ideas on Pinterest and other sites.  Check out this link for growing a Mason jar herb garden here.  Photo Credit above - Mick Telkamp
  • Shop and eat local. There is nothing better than supporting your local businesses. Check out local farmers markets. Many areas even have indoor winter farmers markets. 
  • Purchase products with the "FAIR TRADE" label. Find out what fair trade means here.
  • Pay your bills online. 
  • Open your curtains on sunny days and use the sun to light your home. Natural sunlight is the best!
  • Take reusable bags when shopping. If you have to get the plastic, be sure to reuse them when you can. 
There are so many more tips to be found on the internet. What are some of the things you do to help save the environment?

Happy Earth Day 2017!
