Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, and Earth Day 2021 will occur on Thursday, April 22—the holiday's 51st anniversary. The holiday is now a global celebration that’s sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green living. The brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson and inspired by the protests of the 1960s, Earth Day began as a “national teach-in on the environment” and was held on April 22 to maximize the number of students that could be reached on university campuses. By raising public awareness of pollution, Nelson hoped to bring environmental causes into the national spotlight.
My Birth Day is Earth Day and I am so happy about that, you have no idea! Every year I throw on my favorite tee and hiking gear to head up to a secluded place in Nature. I have to say, that the past year has lead me there over and over again. When times were tough and I felt disconnected, I would venture into the woods on a hike and find comfort. I have so much gratitude for this beautiful Earth and we all should do our part to keep it into existence. It’s truly as simple as just planting a tree or some flowers so the earth can exude the colors of the season. What can you do this Earth Day to show love for our environment? All it takes is a conscious effort to make things happen and create change. Here are 10 simple ways:
Clean up a local beach.
Plant a garden at your home or school.
Scan your neighborhood for litter.
Sign an environmental action petition.
Start a conversation.
Help restore bird habitats.
Buy a reusable water bottle.
Plant a tree.
Clean vacant lots in the community.
Unplug and spend time outside.

So what do we do? We buy more! Meadow Boutique has many styles for only $12. You will see them in the photos below! So pick up a pair or 2, you can’t beat the price and they are UV protected.
