On April 22, people all across the globe will celebrate a day dedicated to our planet; Earth Day! But why should we wait until the end of the month to recognize the Earth? In honor of April being "Earth Month," it's time to increase our awareness and appreciation for our planet and the natural resources it provides. To get you in the spirit, we've compiled a list of some earth-friendly activities that children, parents, families, schools and more can take part in:

1. Plant Something: Gather together with family and friends to plant a tree, flowers, fruits or vegetables.

2. Go For a Walk: Embrace your surroundings by taking a walk around your neighborhood or by heading to the park. Not only is this great exercise, but you're also helping the environment by reducing the amount of pollutants that are emitted from motor vehicles.

3. Donate: Earth Day and Earth Month come just in time for spring cleaning. Work with your family to create a pile of unused or unwanted items that can be brought to a donation center. This is a great way to practice recycling and teach others about the importance of reusing and recycling.

4. Visit a Nature Center: Pick a weekend and head down to the aquarium or zoo. Here, you can learn about how certain animals rely on the natural environment and you will leave with an understanding of the importance of protecting the Earth for their safety. Try to do some research before you go, since many of these places may host Earth Day activities.

April is a great time to go green and honor and preserve our planet. How will you celebrate Earth Month this year?
