As Earth Day approaches, communities prepare to engage in environmental awareness and action.
The 55th anniversary of Earth Day is on April 22, 2025, and provides a wonderful opportunity to recommit ourselves to protecting the Earth and to celebrate our beautiful planet. For those of you who are wondering why we should celebrate, and how to do so, we would suggest starting by pondering what the Earth and nature mean to you. Do you like to take hikes in the nearby woods? Or play basketball outside with your friends? Perhaps you want to swim in the ocean on a warm day, or hit the snowy slopes in the winter. Reflecting on how you interact with nature can bring into perspective its importance, like watching the snowfall in the winter after a long day at work. By appreciating these sorts of things, one can find themselves wanting to protect this feeling of peace nature offers.
Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22, is a global event encouraging environmental awareness and action. Families can participate by cleaning up neighborhoods, planting greenery, reducing carbon footprints, and supporting local farmers. Originating in 1970, Earth Day continues to inspire billions to protect and preserve the planet.

If there’s a drawback to spring cleaning, it would be the pile of cast-offs that lingers, like a hangover, long after the thrill of decluttering is gone.
What to do with all this stuff — especially the stuff that could be recycled somehow or donated somewhere — without turning its disposal into a full-time job?
Take it to Trash Bash, an annual event hosted by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County.
Trash Bash runs from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, at Miller Meadow-South, near Forest Park, and it’s as close as most Chicagoans are likely to get to a one-stop shop for hard-to-recycle items, including electronics.
Participating agencies and nonprofits include the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, Habitat for Humanity, Working Bikes, Terracycle and SCARCE. Midway Document Destruction will provide on-site shredding services.

Have you ever wondered just how many cigarette butts you and your fellow cleanup volunteers collect during a beach or park cleanup? It’s easy to pick up a handful of cigarette butts and feel like you’re making a difference—because you are—but wouldn’t it be fun to measure your impact in a big way?
Cigarette butts are the #1 most littered item on Earth, and they don’t just disappear. These filters contain plastic and toxic chemicals that can leach into the environment. But the good news? Every butt picked up is one less polluting our ecosystems. So, let’s turn picking up cigarette butts into a challenge. How many can you collect, and how can you estimate the total count in a fun and easy way?
