Activities that everyone can try from home for Earth Day 2022
For those of you who just want to make a difference and don’t necessarily want a public event, there are many things that you can do from home for Earth Day 2022. Try one of our ideas below, combine two of them, or come up with your own energy and planet-saving tradition. Who knows, maybe you’ll even stick to it.
- Switch a lightbulb or two. Do you have a lightbulb that you are going to replace? If so, choose LED or another energy-saving variety next time.
- Walk or bike to work. This is a classic way to save on emissions, but we’ll do you one better and suggest a zero=emission, electric vehicle such as the Ford F-150 Lightning or Ford Mustang Mach-E.
- Eat eco-friendly. Buying local food from a farmer’s market is a great way to cut back on transportation emissions for your food. You can also try a vegetarian or vegan meal.
Community events to try for Earth Day 2022 in the Edmonton area
These events are close to Earth Day, and each of them is eco-friendly. If you want to celebrate on the actual date, maybe you could take inspiration from one of these events. We’ll have suggestions for how you can turn these into at-home, private events too.
- Beginner cattail weaving will be taught at the Art Gallery of St. Albert on April 30, 2022. Cattails are native and local plants, which makes this an eco-friendly art form. For an at-home version, you could look up tutorial videos for your own Earth Day crafts.
- The Edmonton Rock N’ Gem Show will be at the West Edmonton Mall Ice Palace on April 28, 29, 30, and May 1, 2022. While not necessarily an eco-friendly event, it could teach you about our world, which is another way that people celebrate Earth Day. If you’re staying home, you could start a rock collection, which is an eco-friendlier option than collecting manufactured goods.
- Muir Lake Cleanup Day takes place this year on May 1, 2022. Muir Lake is a short drive from Edmonton, and if you haven’t been there, this is a great chance to get outdoors and help the environment while finding a new place to hike. If you don’t want to make the drive, try cleaning up your local park or finding ways to recycle and reuse items at home.
