Did you know that April 22nd, 2020 is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day? Let’s celebrate our beautiful planet together. Whether you recycle, repurpose, start plogging, plant a garden, or eat a meat-free meal, it all helps to lesson our impact on the planet.

As David Suzuki, a legendary Canadian environmentalist, once said:

“In nature there is no such thing as waste. In nature nothing is wasted; everything is recycled...our very being, essence, health and happiness depend on Mother Earth.”

We have a variety of resources to share as a family on Hoopla and Overdrive so you can celebrate all week long:

Juvenile Books:

Adult Books:

Documentary and Series:

However small the effort it, all adds up – one small seedling grows into a tall tree with thousands of leaves – together if we recycle a tin can, newspaper or glass jar it leads to a greener planet earth. Just do what you can. Happy Earth Day!
