Happy Earth Day!

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, you are invited to celebrate this special day by spending time outdoors as a family. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Take a “Look for litter” walk around your neighborhood or favorite park

  • Set up a family garden to grow your own veggies

  • Take your baby for a stroller ride and name all the birds and animals on your way

  • Plant a tree seedling on Arbor Day ( April 24)

  • Switch from pesticide lawn care to a service that supports bees and butterflies (and your pets and kids)

  • Plant milkweed in a sunny spot.

  • Challenge older kids and teens to master College Competency #11 (Navigate). While many teens are tech savvy, they may not know how to find their way if technology fails. More tips in my book, Get Connected for College: the Savvy Student’s Guide to College Prep.
