Every April, we celebrate Earth day. Carl Sagan once preached the importance of “our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.” Earth is our only home, and it’s one we need to take care of. What are some ways to help the Earth and stay active at the same time? We’ll go over a few simple options below!

How You Can Celebrate Earth Day and Stay Active
Gardening
Working in a garden is a peaceful and wholesome activity that offers just enough physical activity to elevate your heart rate. Maintaining your own garden is also a wonderful way to connect with nature, Gardening your own veggies also promotes sustainable agriculture, something essential to our planet’s health.
Ride a Bike
Even for just one day, leave your car in the garage and take your bike everywhere. This is obviously a great cardio and lower-body workout, but it also reduces your carbon footprint. Weather permitting, try doing this a few times a week, not just on Earth Day!
Volunteer
Get out and volunteer to help with trash clean-up. This isn’t strenuous by any means, but it will keep you up and moving and likely elevate your heart rate. And, this goes without saying, helping to clean up the environment is a great favor you can do for our beautiful planet.
So those are three simple ways to help the Earth and stay active! Have any other ideas? Leave a comment or send us a picture of how you’re celebrating on social media!
