Purple or yellow. Green, red, pink, or orange. What’s your favorite color? What’s your favorite wildflower?
Wildflowers come in so many colors and whether you are hiking, biking, camping or visiting a city, the coming months are a great time to see them in bloom nearly everywhere. Even on rooftops in New York City.
There’s also no better time to let the kids know they have a role in nurturing our planet, whether flowers, the ocean or neighborhood parks.
Download an Earth Day (April 22) tool kit and see how you can help in the Great Global Cleanup. This year there are opportunities in 192 countries. Search the map for nearby cleanups, or create the kids’ and parents’ (grandparents too!) own solo or small group cleanups near where they live and work. Cleanup partners can register events and invite volunteers to their cleanups via The Great Global Cleanup live map. Cleanup events will be added to the map throughout March and April. The Great Global Cleanup is a worldwide campaign to remove billions of pieces of trash from neighborhoods, beaches, rivers, lakes, trails, and parks — reducing waste and plastic pollution, improving habitats, and preventing harm to wildlife and humans.
