I received the package below in exchange for sharing this information.
This month marks a special day that reminds us that we need to stop and smell the roses. Well not just smell the roses but really take care of the roses and the trees and the water and all of Earth’s resources.
EnviroKidz is a company that hopes to empower positive change through tasty organic food. They offer gluten free, whole grain organic goodness in cereal that kids will want to eat. To show their love for the planet they donate 1% of sales to animal conservation groups like the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and the Australian Koala Foundation.
Nature’s Path, the company behind EnviroKidz, has come out with a great list of activities to celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd (and really any day of the year!):
Learn about endangered species! Start Earth Day off with a bowl of Nature’s Path EnviroKidz organic cereal – each box features fun facts about an endangered species and highlights a few ways you can help protect them. It’s a quick and easy way for kids to learn about the importance of protecting animal habitats – and families can feel good about eating their breakfast because Nature’s Path donates 1% of sales of EnviroKidz products to support endangered species, habitat conservation and environmental education for kids worldwide.
Plant it Forward: Earth Day is a perfect time to work in a garden – whether a community garden or at your home.
Take a Walk on the Wild Side: Kids love getting outdoors and a walk on a trail, in a park or around the neighborhood can connect youngsters to the earth. Make it an adventure with a nature scavenger hunt – give kids a list or pictures to find of trees, flowers and insects.
Pedal Power: Give up driving for a day. Grab some wheels – the ones you pedal – or hoof it around the block, to your local store or playground.
Reuse Art: Create a fun craft table with only reusable items – from packaging, to newspapers to tins and jars – these leftover items can find new and creative uses.
Trash patrol: Armed with reusable bags, kids can do a beach or park clean-up and compete for the most items found (just remember no picking up glass or sharp objects!).
Brainstorm: Kids have great ideas – ask them for ideas on how the family can protect the earth every day – perhaps it is one hour less of electricity or having motor-less Sundays – they may surprise you with their brain power.
Read together: There are so many wonderful books for kids of all ages (such as Dr. Seuss, The Lorax) that have messages about protecting the earth, so grab a blanket, a book and head outside.
Recycle plan: How well does your family recycle? Make a plan to recycle more and set up trash bins for all to participate.
Help save the Koalas! EnviroKidz is giving away a 10 day family trip for four to Australia which includes a chance to cuddle with a koala, visit with koala experts and scientists, plant Eucalyptus trees and more!
