An Easy Way to Honor Earth Day

An easy way to honor earth day, anytime, is to reuse the things we have. These can be things like containers which are often the holders for things we really wanted. Cookies, mints, candles are all things I have wanted, which to buy, come in metal containers.

Metal is my spotlight material for April so theres a connection to one of the questions I ask in my spotlighting. Where do we see this material used? Metal is part of many things around us. Its a strong material that can be used again and again. It is also a material that is painstakingly mined from the earth so a way to honor that effort and care for our planet is to reuse it.

Next time you come across a tin from mints or a colorful tin from cookies- try asking yourself, what else can this be? The answer can be fun to explore!
