Earth Day, April 22nd, was first observed on April 22, 1970. This annual global event was created to demonstrate support for our planet Earth and take action on how to protect it from the many ways human activities can harm it. From small neighborhood activities to global initiatives, Earth Day is a day when people across the world take action to protect the natural aspects of the neighborhoods and communities around them. There are plenty of small ways your loved one can celebrate the day, either by herself, with a family member, or with her companion care at home provider.

Companion Care at Home Selma CA – Some Fun Ways For Your Senior to Celebrate Earth Day

If your senior loved one has a heart for nature and the environment, Earth Day can be a great day for her to connect with nature around her and commit to doing better to protect it.

Fun Ways for Your Senior to Celebrate Earth Day

There are lots of ways to celebrate Earth Day and your community may have specific events that celebrate the day. Look at libraries, nature centers, and gardens for some ways for your senior to connect with her community as she celebrates Earth Day. If you cannot find anything that’s in the community, no worries.

Visit a Garden. Gardens are a great spot to appreciate the natural beauty in the world. Take time to notice all of the important pollinators in that garden that are so important to a healthy planet.

Do some Bird Watching. Another calm and relaxing way to celebrate the day is by bird-watching. A quick trip to any local body of water is sure to bring some birds into view for your senior. Don’t forget to bring the binoculars!

Donate Instead of Tossing. If your loved one has gently used items to get rid of, help her donate them instead of putting them in the garbage to fill up a landfill.

Clean up a Park. Even if your loved one can’t find an organized group cleaning up parks, nothing is stopping her from grabbing a garbage bag, some gloves, and a garbage grabber to do her part to make her neighborhood park more beautiful.

Celebrate Earth Day Without Leaving Home

Some seniors may not be able to get out and participate in activities in their community but that doesn’t mean they can’t still participate in activities at home that are conservation-focused.

A companion care at home provider who spends time each week visiting your loved one may join her in some of these activities or help to lead them. Your senior might appreciate having her companion care at home provider share these activities with her, providing her the chance to connect with someone as she celebrates Earth Day.

One way to celebrate the day (or the week or month) without leaving the home is to learn more about all of the natural wonders of the world. Your loved one can watch nature documentaries or read about her favorite topics.

Another way to honor Earth Day is to take steps to reduce waste around the home. Her companion care at home can help her set up recycling around the home, thus putting less waste in the world. From sorting recyclables out of the garbage to recycling clothes and household items, the amount of trash created can help support Earth Day efforts year-round.
