We’ve rounded up these gems from Earth Days gone by
1. Building a green roof on your garage. The uber-cool eco-dad and founder of Green Garage tells us about going green with his family and building a natural green roof on top of his garage. He now counsels other families on how do the same.
2. Brockton Triangle neighbourhood cleanup. This amazing Toronto neighbourhood gets together for pot lucks, street parties, yard sales and even childcare. They also get together to clean up their neighbourhood for Earth Day. Adults and older kids perform the actual cleaning, while younger kids do crafts and decorate the ‘hood with sidewalk chalk. Coolness!
3. National Audubon’s Pennies for the Planet. The National Audubon Society provides lots of Earth Day fund-raising tips to help kids collect pennies to save wild species and places. The site also offers suggestions on how kids can save energy and respect the environment. The ideas are all child-friendly, inspiring and very easy to accomplish and help to make a difference.
