We were always taught to recycle and respect our planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; font-size: 1.7rem; letter-spacing: 0.02em;\">In fact, I remember when I was in Grade 7, our school play was based entirely around saving our earth. I was part of the \u201cOzone Squad\u201d. I still remember our squad\u2019s song loud and clear. It was called \u201cWe\u2019re Killing the Ozone\u201d and the lyrics still ring true today:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.7rem; letter-spacing: 0.02em;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got to start now, to change it somehow. We\u2019re destroying the planet, that we take for granted. We\u2019re killing the ozone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There were also super cool 90\u2019s dance moves, but we\u2019ll move along.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as an adult, Earth Day is a great opportunity to teach our children about the importance of respecting our environment, recycling and conserving energy. But seeing as they\u2019re kids, it\u2019s important that we make it fun, too!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So here are some of my Earth Day ideas that your kids will LOVE to take part in!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Pick up Garbage<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 A simple way to teach kids about respecting the environment is going for a walk around your neighbourhood and pick up garbage together. Grab a bag, slap on some boots and gloves and start cleaning up! I know what you\u2019re thinking\u2026 \u201cThe kids won\u2019t find this fun!\u201d, but I&#8217;ve got that covered. Head to a local park you like to frequent and pick up trash there. Then, let them play afterwards!<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Plan a &#8220;Lights Out&#8221; Night<\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 To show kids the importance of conserving energy, plan a \u201cLights Out\u201d night. No lights, no TV, no electronics. In a technology-based world, sometimes it\u2019s hard to break away from screens, but for one night, turn everything off and play hide-and-go-seek in the dark or play board games by candlelight! This is sure to be new and exciting for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Plant a Garden<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 When thinking of Earth Day, most people think about planting trees or a garden. It\u2019s a great time to get the kids outside and get their hands dirty! If you don\u2019t have an outdoor garden, plant&nbsp; an indoor herb garden and have the kids help decorate the pots.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Craft with Recyclable Items<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 What to do with all those empty toilet paper rolls, cereal boxes and milk cartons? Use them for some cool Earth Day crafts! Go online and search out some fun craft ideas (there are tons) and make it a family event.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Family Scavenger Hunt<\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Our family loves to get outside, so a family hike sounds awesome enough to me! But if your kids aren&#8217;t big fans of long walks, just turn your walk into a nature scavenger hunt with items they have to find and collect along the way!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Earth Day is great opportunity to teach your children that they CAN&nbsp;make a difference when it comes to our environment. After all, our kids are going to be the ones in charge of our planet someday, so it\u2019s our job to teach them while they&#8217;re young. Be the example. Even small things like recycling, using less water and turning off lights can make a HUGE difference.<\/p>\n<p>What are your plans for Earth Day this weekend? Share them below to give other families more great ideas to celebrate our beautiful planet!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;For as long as I can remember, protecting our planet was always an important part of my education growing up.
