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.
