Each year Earth Day takes place April 22nd but this year is a little extra special. Why? Not only does 2020 mark the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, but this year we’re celebrating differently due to coronavirus.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Earth Day as we know it is typically celebrated by getting outdoors, volunteering and participating in green initiatives. This year, we\u2019re pivoting to initiatives you can incorporate in your household. As we all know, that\u2019s probably the environment you\u2019re spending the most time in right now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
With families spending much of their time at home during this pandemic it\u2019s inevitable that water, hydro and food costs will increase in your household. In tune with this, there will also be more waste. With Earth Day right around the corner, we\u2019re highlighting some simple efforts you can make in your kitchen to go green. These small changes are easier than you may think!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Plan in Advance: <\/strong>Make your life easier by planning meals and making a grocery list in advance! Reduce waste by avoiding buying unnecessary ingredients, and preparing to cook extra portions to save that can be easily reheated later. This will reduce unnecessary trips to the store, and saves you time by taking the \u201cwhat’s for dinner tonight?\u201d question out of the equation.
