Get creative to celebrate Earth Month this April
Earth Day is Tuesday, April 22, but we can celebrate our planet all month long by walking, biking, and rolling to school!
In the spirit of reducing waste during Earth Month, Oregon Safe Routes to School will not provide physical material incentives. Instead, we're encouraged to get creative about how we celebrate walking, biking, and rolling for the earth—whether it’s all month or just on Earth Day.
Check out these resources and ideas about how to celebrate Earth Month:
- Use this Earth Month toolkit to help spread the word and plan activities, e.g., organize a walking school bus or bike bus.
- Plant seeds at your school or around your community.
- Write a thank you card to the Earth.
- Create a collaborative mural at your school about walking, biking, and rolling to school.
- Have students make posters about why they love the Earth.
