"Earth Day Anyway" - is a resource of activities individuals and families can take on your own to go outside to celebrate Earth Day's 50th Anniversary and to live a more sustainable life. Initially, this was planned as a large event to be held at a park in Baltimore County. COVID-19 has forced us all to re-group to find opportunities for you and other like-minded folks to appreciate, advocate and engage on behalf of Creation.
CLICK HERE for a faithful guide to 30 Days of spiritual reflection and action suggestions from Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake. You can print it out and post it on your refrigerator, by your computer or on your desk. So, even if you can not gather at your place of worship you can still wonder outside and take in all that is wondrous in our world.
Then check the Baltimore Earth Day 2020 site for a growing list of ideas from IPC and other sponsoring organizations for ideas on other activities you can due throughout April while following COVID-19 guidelines.
Additional resources for the first Digital Earth Day can also be found at EarthDay.org.
