From forest bathing to participating in clean-ups, here's how you can make your mark this Earth Day
It’s no secret that the world is massively making moves to curb pollution, eat more sustainably and cut down on our food and material waste. After all, we are increasingly aware that we need to work much harder if we want to save our planet for our future generations.
This is likely why this year’s Earth Day theme focuses on investing in our planet and making it a place where we will be able to live comfortably even many years from now.

Earth Day falls on April 22 this year and is a time for many to consider their choices and habits and to see how we can do better for the future of our environment.
If you are looking for ways to celebrate Earth Day while educating yourself and your family about the need to be conscious, here are some ideas.
1. Do a Clean-Up
Did you know that in Singapore, each person generates about 800mg of trash each day? That said, change starts with small steps so this weekend, why not celebrate Earth Day by going out and participating in a clean-up?
You can join fellow environmentalists at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park where you will be provided with a pail and metal tongs to help clean up the park and restore the home of the (infamous) Bishan otters. You can even bring your family along and make it a special day out.
