Happy Earth Day 2025!
We’ve compiled twenty things we can all do to make our fragile planet a little better.
From general mindset to taking action, there are a myriad of ways to help make Earth feel a bit more love. We’ve also included a comprehensive guide that offer resources that help you take action.
Mindset & Awareness
Reconnect with Awe — Take a solo walk in nature and really notice it. Awe is a gateway drug to care.
Learn One Local Endangered Species — Know it. Share it. Protect it.
Rethink “Eco” as Joyful, Not Deprived — Sustainability isn’t scarcity — it’s elegance, balance, and beauty.
At Home
Plant a Pollinator Garden (Even a Small One) — Even a window box with lavender or milkweed helps bees and butterflies.
Switch to Renewable Energy — If your utility offers it, opt in. If not, push for it.
Compost Like a Pro — It’s easier than you think, and it saves methane-emitting waste from landfills.
Consumption
Buy 10% Less of Everything — Seriously. Just 10%. From clothes to gadgets to groceries.
Choose Beauty That Lasts — Avoid fast design and choose pieces that age well and tell a story.
Support B-Corps and Regenerative Brands — Every dollar is a vote for the future.
Clothing & Fashion
Wash Your Clothes in Cold Water — Saves energy and makes your clothes last longer.
Try a No-New-Clothes Month — Reinvent your wardrobe with creativity, not consumption.
Ditch Microplastics — Avoid synthetic fabrics when possible. They shed into the water stream every wash.
Animals & Wildlife
Make Your Yard or Balcony Bird-Safe — Window decals, native plants, and water features go a long way.
Say No to Lawn, Yes to Wild Spaces — Lawns are deserts for biodiversity. Let a patch go wild.
Food & Water
Try a Plant-Based Day Each Week — Eating lower on the food chain reduces emissions dramatically.
Refuse Single-Use Water Bottles — A small act with a massive footprint if multiplied.
Eat Ugly Produce — Helps reduce waste and supports smaller farms.
Action & Advocacy
Support Environmental Journalism — Subscribe. Share. Help amplify truth and beauty.
Join a Local Clean-Up or Rewilding Project — See the impact of your hands on your local ecosystem.
Talk About It — Earth Day shouldn’t be silent. Share what you’re doing and why. Your voice matters.
Below are a range of additional resources to help make your own Earth Day journey easier.
