Today as we wake up to some much needed rain, we recognize that our planet is changing and it is our job to try to help mother Earth out. Earth Day 2021 is happening during a pandemic, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take a good hard look at how we use energy and what we can do on a daily basis to make our world a better place. Most of the things mentioned on this list of Earth saving activities happen at home anyway.
14 Ways you can help the earth…starting NOW!
Some say that now is the perfect time to adopt a new lifestyle with regard to how we use energy, deal with waste and mindfully conserve our planet’s resources.

I am no expert, but I do know that the sky was the clearest blue I have ever seen last summer when travel was halted and I can’t help but think that is a clear indication of one of the major contributors to air pollution. I have never been completely sold on the idea that electric vehicles are the complete answer either.
