On April 22, many will celebrate this year's Earth Day. Hopefully, everyone WILL celebrate Earth Day, because recycling is important not only on this special day, but on the other 364 days of the year as well. On Earth Day vow to have a little more fun with recycling. Try putting your recyclable items and trash to good use; you can even make excellent crafts, including a Light Saver.
The Light Saver is a light bulb shaped decoration that you can place on the door knobs in the house. These little paper light bulbs can serve a pretty special purpose.

It takes a little more work and planning than a spur-of-the-moment picnic, but it’s guilt-free (at least environmentally – your diet is your lookout).
Cabrillo National Monument in California has some guidelines for visitors who want their lunch to generate zero waste. Planning a picnic like this can be a learning activity for a class or group outing.
