Plant Something!!
Earth Day 2011 and 2012 we have had the privilege to plant a tree in our back yard.
Our relatives live in a small apartment in the city. The past two years they have purchased a live tree for their Christmas tree. Then we get to plant it in our yard for Earth Day. It has been so special! These are pictures of the girls planting last year's tree.
If you don't have a tree to plant, plant something else. This is a great time to plant little potted plants or some flowers in the yard. You can talk about soil quality and how plants help clean the air for us. Plus digging in the dirt is always a good idea!
