Celebrating Earth Day 2020 in Myrtle Beach: Family-Friendly Ways to Protect Our Planet from Home

Celebrating Earth Day 2020 in Myrtle Beach: Family-Friendly Ways to Protect Our Planet from Home

This year, we're adapting our Earth Day celebrations to stay safe at home. Typically, Myrtle Beach families head to Brookgreen Gardens for eco-activities or join community beach sweeps. With current restrictions, we'll integrate Earth Day into daily routines throughout the week of April 22—the 50th anniversary. Living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, surrounded by stunning ecosystems and waterways enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, it's crucial to honor this milestone.

Celebrating Earth Day 2020 in Myrtle Beach: Family-Friendly Ways to Protect Our Planet from Home

Our proximity to the beach makes ocean and shoreline cleanup a priority during daily walks. Plastic pollution remains a global crisis, entangling or poisoning countless marine animals and seabirds annually, often fatally. Picking up litter on each visit contributes meaningfully to planetary health.

Can't join a group cleanup? Here are practical, home-based Earth Day ideas:

  1. Pick up litter during neighborhood walks.
  2. Prepare a plant-based meal.
  3. Establish a home recycling system.
  4. Craft bird feeders with pine cones and peanut butter (a kid favorite!).
  5. Create nature collages from outdoor finds.
