Arbor Day: April 25, 2008
People and organizations were all abuzz this week with Earth Day excitement. Events spanned the globe and called people young and old to take action in the movement to make a positive change in the environment around us.
As many people celebrate Earth Day, another holiday that often gets overshadowed is Arbor Day, which is on April 25. Arbor Day has been celebrated since the 1800s and the foundation is still encouraging it’s observance today.
Volunteer to plant a tree, or just save some trees by following a few of these tips:
- Do your banking online.
- Try to eliminate receiving junk mail and phone books.
- Opt out of receipts at the ATM and gas stations.
- Think before you print.
- Send an e-card.
- Send an e-card AND plant a tree.
And don’t forget, when you do need to use paper, be sure to recycle it once you are done!
