Let's celebrate the 45th Earth Day Anniversary Today, 22nd April 2015. If you can pick one thing, what is it that you would like people to do to help preserve our Earth? Save an endangered species, preserve natural resources, take steps to reduce pollution or anything that would help make this Earth still precious for years to come? And pictures do explain more than words. If you have a photo that explains the Environmental Cause that has made an impact on you, do share the picture too. Every small step counts. If your idea can help a person make even a small change towards green living, it will make a significant difference. So, do share. We are looking for many green ideas!

There is a hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are care takers of this planet . Brooke Medicine Eagle.
Dear @IL_Admin , What a great way celebrate save World Earth Day! Typical of our tradition, you keep IL on the forefront of promoting all noble causes. My idea is: Let us all in IL decide to encourage our children to know more about the need of preserving the Earth from the carbon Invasion! Let each one of us spend at least 10 minutes a week for this purpose exclusively in our own way with our children talking about a Green Earth.
My suggestion, besides saying that we make everyday Earth day, is... when we have go to some place that is nearby, lets walk or cycle whenever possible rather than drive/ ride a bike to that place. Lets plan to start early so we can walk in leisure and not be forced to take the car out. Happy Earth day ILites.
Reducing plastic usage as much as possible , especially shopping bags by carrying our own bags. in cities too much pollution from vehicles, weekly one day , no personal vehicle usage , only public transport if needed may be on Sunday.
@divya9944, @suryakala, @PriyaSrini and @KashmirFlower - thank you for sharing your thoughtful ideas. They are simple enough for everyone to follow.
More, get knowledge about home gardens, trees etc, give this knowledge to kids too. Grow some plants or trees in ur home, also participate in any planting events conducted by NGOs. When we were in school, our HM used to involve us in plating and gardening activities in school premises. In India we have less greenery, becoming concrete jungles. water consumption also need to done from municipality or corporation pipes. Underground water should be used only for emergencies.
Dear IL'ites (@divya9944, @suryakala, @PriyaSrini and @KashmirFlower), Thank you for your participation. How about these pictures to convey what you have shared about Earth Day!!
Very nicely said in the pictures. pictures are remembered well. I love the kids planting picture, It is lovely, gives inspiration for us to involve kids in gardening stuff.
we hang out this save earth to the young generation.make the child to involve in planting,gardening,preparing organic manure the stuff like this.how is it possible?we must give important to have garden at home and make our child to involve in this by handed over planters with seeding and indulge them to look after their plants and bring their attention to the coexistence of flying beauties.becoz we cann't live with lion tiger but with these birds,furry and tailed creatures.so kindling these interests in kids surely spurt the success range in "save earth".
