Earth Day

The Earth needs you and Lynnwood needs you for Earth Day 2026!

Wednesday, April 22 is Earth Day, a day to be thankful for the planet and the amazing natural resources it provides us. It's also a day where we can commit to making small sustainable changes in restoring our planet. We know a lot of small changes can lead to big changes.

Here are some ideas on how to celebrate Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22. 

• Plant a tree, or two.
• Start a garden.
• Pull out invasive plants in your yard or garden and replace them with native ones.
• Use cloth towels instead of paper ones.
• Change your paper bills to online billing.
• You’ll be saving trees and the fuel it takes to deliver your bills by truck.
• Read documents online instead of printing them.
• Set your office printer to print two-sided.
• Reduce your meat consumption to curb carbon emissions from the livestock industry.
• Compost kitchen scraps for use in your garden — turning waste into fertilizer.
• Take a shorter or fewer showers – seems an easy one right now!
• Fix leaky faucets and shower heads.
• Turn off and unplug electronics you’re not using – this includes turning off your computer at night.
• Turn off lights when you leave a room.
