Even if you’re not an environmental activist, you’ve likely heard of Earth Day. Earth Day is a celebration that occurs each year honoring the overall achievements of the environmental movement, not to mention a day that aims to raise awareness when it comes to protecting Earth's natural resources. 

In the United States, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22. The rest of the world celebrates Earth Day on April 22 or they celebrate this important holiday on the day of the spring equinox.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, the primary aim of Earth Day is to have everyone thinking a little more about ways to start going green, so to speak. You can go green by being a little more conscious as a consumer, not to mention taking a few extra measures to reduce your carbon footprint.

Below, Geneverse (formerly Generark) goes over a few ways to celebrate Earth Day this year as well as a few ideas that will get you closer to living a green lifestyle.

Invest In Planet-Friendly Green Products

If you’re thinking about making more environmentally-conscious purchases, why not start on Earth Day? Purchasing a new recyclable water bottle instead of buying packaged bottled water is one simple place to start. 

You can also replace existing items in your home with greener options. For instance, if your current emergency power plan includes a gas generator, now might be the time to purchase a solar generator. Geneverse (formerly Generark)’sHomePower ONE bundle pack comes with solar panel charging capabilities, which provide a reliable and renewable emergency power supply for up to 7 days.

Take Part in Earth Day-related Events

Take a look around your current city and watch for Earth Day-related events in your area. Groups of people might be getting together to plant trees, learn how to compost, or engage in other environmentally-friendly activities. 

When it comes to making an impact, your community is a place where you can make a huge difference. If events in your area seem a little scarce, make up an endeavor of your own. You can gather a few friends and organize a clean-up crew in an area of your city that could use a little attention.

Choose Green Brands and Companies

One of the biggest ways you can make an impact is by paying attention to where your dollars go. Research your favorite brands and organizations to make sure they’re doing their part to help the world and their surrounding communities. Once you do a little research you might come across some surprises that have you thinking differently about what you purchase.
