Here are our top Earth Day 2024 posts and Earth Day activities.<\/p>\n Earth Day 2024 is Monday, April 22, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The facts are, one day isn\u2019t nearly enough to celebrate Mother Earth and all she has to offer each of us.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n No matter where you live, Earth Day is a day to find a new appreciation and open yourself to becoming more eco-friendly. So, we\u2019re sharing some of our all-time favorites and most popular tips in honor of Earth Day so we can help you save money and the planet \u2013 now and for every day moving forward too<\/em>.<\/p>\n Did you know that bottled water is\u00a0ranked the #1 U.S. beverage by volume sold? According to the Container Recycling Institute<\/a>,\u00a0\u201cmore than 60 million plastic bottles end up in landfills and incinerators\u00a0every day<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a total of about\u00a022 billion last year<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n That makes switching to a reusable water bottle a no-brainer! \ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffc<\/p>\n Luckily, I rated the best water bottle<\/a> brands after many years of testing! So if you\u2019re in the market this Earth Day, make sure to check out which one will best suit your needs. I even included the BEST option for kids! \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n Approximately 500 million plastic straws<\/strong> are used each day in America alone. It\u2019s also been calculated that by 2050 there will be more weight in straws than fish in the oceans. \ud83d\ude31 It\u2019s no wonder why many larger companies have made the switch to a no-straw policy<\/a> years ago.<\/p>\n Straws are extremely harmful and even fatal to marine life due to getting stuck or ingested. Even worse, research from the National Library of Medicine<\/a> found traces of plastic in sea salt, 94% of tap water, and shellfish. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking to stop using plastic straws, we shared the best\/worst reusable straws<\/a>\u00a0and even shared more information on the damage plastic straws are doing. Make the switch now!<\/em><\/p>\n I love these 4ocean bracelets<\/a> because each purchase cleans up one pound of trash in the water. You can choose specific colors that represent your favorite animals from sea turtles to dolphins. Plus, score 20% off your purchase when you sign up for emails.<\/p>\n One of the best ways to contribute to the Earth is to use less trash. You don\u2019t have to contribute to the overwhelming amounts of garbage in landfills once a product is gone and there can be many ways to repurpose it too!<\/p>\n Check out our genius upcycling ideas<\/a> you can do at home with frequently used items like candles. From medicine bottles to unused shoe boxes and so much more you can transform so many pieces into treasures this Earth Day!<\/p>\n Bee\u2019s Wraps<\/a> are naturally antimicrobial, made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, sustainably sourced beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin. All the ingredients combined create a malleable and easy-to-use food wrap that can be used repeatedly. Perfect for packing lunches or storing leftovers! After trying these reusable Bees Wraps I was sold. Plus, I knew I was making a significant difference for our planet on Earth Day and every other day during the year.<\/p>\n Read my full beeswax food wraps review<\/a> if you\u2019d like to learn more!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n As an alternative to wrapping food, grab a set of Food Huggers<\/a> for cut foods and lidless jars. They\u2019re BPA-Free and dishwasher safe making them another genius Earth-friendly reusable product to have in your home.<\/p>\n The number of plastic sandwich baggies I was frivolously using occurred to me when all 3 of my kiddos were in school. Every day, I was using at least<\/em> 3 baggies per lunch! \ud83d\ude31 That\u2019s 45 sandwich bags in just one week<\/strong> not including the other bags I was using when it was convenient.<\/p>\n That\u2019s about 4 boxes of these Ziploc sandwich bags<\/a> per month!<\/em> If I stayed on that track, I was projected to spend well over<\/strong> $200\u00a0just on baggies each year <\/strong>that had a lifespan of fewer than 24 hours. \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n We completely switched to Stasher Bags<\/a> years ago and haven\u2019t looked back. In fact, all of mine still look brand new and NONE of them have stained, ripped, or gone in the trash! \ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n They\u2019re 100% silicone, easy to open and close, freezer and microwave-safe, and sous vide-safe. Plus, they\u2019re even oven-ready and can even be thrown in the dishwasher for hassle-free cleaning! They\u2019re endlessly reusable, extremely durable, and come in any size you need.<\/p>\n Last year, on Earth Day, Stasher hosted a 25% OFF sitewide<\/strong> sale and shipping is free on $49+ orders making it a great time to stock up.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been hesitating to give them a try, check out my full review on Stasher reusable silicone bags<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You\u2019ve hit the mother-load of all Earth Day posts! From better ways to brew your coffee to how to clean your dishes and so much more. I shared the best eco-friendly product swaps<\/a> to make in your home ASAP and how much you\u2019ll save if you make these easy switches now! \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n For example, with the more eco-friendly solutions I came up with, you and your family could potentially save $45,000+<\/strong> over the next 10 years! Honestly, the stats and numbers I shared will truly shock you! \ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n Depending on what cleaners you\u2019re using at home, they could be contributing to\u00a0health problems according to the EPA<\/a>.\u00a0The Nest<\/a>\u00a0states that families, on average, are spending a whopping $600 every year for cleaning supplies. Not to mention, they\u2019re likely\u00a0horrible for the environment<\/a> since many aren\u2019t 100% biodegradable and contain chemicals.<\/p>\n Your home should be a safe place and not just on Earth Day. That\u2019s why you should make the switch to cleaner and more eco-friendly cleaning products if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n When you make more conscious choices, it will ultimately be better for you, your family, and the planet.<\/p>\n Want just one effective cleaning product that does it ALL and is completely eco-friendly too?!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Even the most eco-friendly products need to be replaced. So regardless if you\u2019ve found the cleanest of them all, we have a better solution to minimize your waste altogether AND it will cut your costs by at least 80%. \ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffc<\/p>\n Force of Nature<\/a>\u00a0is a federal EPA-registered disinfectant and sanitizer that NATURALLY kills 99.9% of germs, bacteria, and viruses \u2013\u00a0even COVID.<\/em> \ud83d\ude31 That\u2019s right, it uses just water, salt, and vinegar and can be used to replace bleach, disinfectants, sanitizers, deodorizers, kitchen, bathroom, window, carpet, rug, floor, pet, sports, and baby product cleaners. \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n It\u2019s a splurge up front but once you own this unique system, the refill capsules come out to just 9 cents per ounce and completely eliminate single-use plastic bottles. Plus, the\u00a0Recyclable Activator Capsules<\/a> reduce plastic waste by 97%. It doesn\u2019t get more Earth-friendly than that friends! \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n Our Clean Series has clean natural products<\/a> that are toxic free swaps from cleaning products to makeup.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n At Arbor Day Foundation<\/a>, you can honor all your loved ones with the gift of trees.
