Celebrating Earth Day Everyday with Macaroni Kid

April 17, 2014
Celebrate Earth Day - everyday - with a few of these ideas:

Reuse all those plastic eggs, upcycle common household items, hike one of our 
favorite trails, enjoy a local park (and pick up litter while you're there), craft a paper mache globe, restore a trail with Mountain to Sound Greenway, recycle your old computer with InterConnection, donate your used bike with BikeWorks, save your costumes to swap with us in Octobermake a difference by supporting a local non-profit.

All month long the CleanScapes Store will be collecting crayon bits and pieces to support locally owned, Wacky Crayons, in their crayon recycling efforts.  Get your kids involved and go on a hunt for broken, used crayons to donate. Anyone who brings crayons into the CleanScapes store will receive a limited edition crayon (one per family).

Understand the part you play in protecting our natural resources by attending the TRASHED Movie Event to Celebrate Earth Day.

Volunteer to help maintain a native plant garden in Sammamish.

Connect with your water source at the Cedar River Education Center in North Bend.

Participate in a citywide Spring Clean Up in Issaquah.

BEE Earth Friendly and visit with the animals at Cougar Mountain Zoo.

Celebrate Arbor Day and YMCA's Healthy Kids Day in Snoqualmie.

Everyday - in some little way - live a greener life, treat those around you with kindness and compassion, waste less, recycle more, and see the world through the eyes of your children!
