Remove Clutter and Give Them Away

It takes a lot of water and energy to produce new clothes. On this Earth Day, you can give away those clothes that you have not used for a long time some people who don’t have the means to buy better clothing. On one hand, you will get rid of clutter. On the other, the people that receive the sparingly used clothing will be thankful to you forever.

Plant Trees

The best way to give back to the mother earth is by planting trees. It is the building up of carbon dioxide and methane (greenhouse gases) that cause global warming. As the trees consume carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, the greenhouse effect reduces. When we plant more trees, we make the planet a better place to live.

There are innumerable charities around the world that need to raise money for cleaning up rivers, conducting classes, and do some kind of earth-friendly work which will not last just for a day. The benefits will continue for a long time to come.
