by Merrillyn Butterfield Celebrating the 55th Anniversary of Earth Day – April 22. Join the global celebration!   On April 22, people across the world unite to advocate for a healthier planet. It’s Earth Day’s 55th birthday, and you’re invited to the party! Here are some ways you can give back to Mother Earth—starting today: 10 Ways to Celebrate Earth Day 1. Go Solar.Did you know ProLux Energy’s solar systems offset approximately 7 tons of CO₂ every year? That’s like planting 236 trees—without lifting a shovel! 2. Leave the Car Behind.Skip the drive. Walk, bike, or take public transit. Avoiding just one gallon of gas can keep 20 pounds of CO₂ out of the atmosphere. 3. Conserve Water.Turn off the shower while lathering. Standard shower heads use about 2.5 gallons per minute—quick pauses save gallons every time. 4. Ditch Bottled Water.Carry your own reusable bottle. It’s a simple switch that slashes plastic waste and keeps landfills lean. 5. Go Organic.Choose organic products—food, soap, skincare, detergent. They’re kinder to the earth and free from harmful chemicals. 6. Volunteer Locally.Join a clean-up crew or start one. Earth Day activities are happening everywhere—or can start with you. 7. Plant a Tree.Trees don’t just beautify—they cool, clean, and capture carbon. They’re one of nature’s best gifts. 8. Use Native Plants.Landscaping with native flowers and plants supports local ecosystems, saves water, and attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. 9. Compost.Turn kitchen scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich soil. It’s nature’s recycling system—and your garden will love it. 10. Harness the Sun.Go solar at home! Lower your electricity bill and cut your carbon footprint—a win-win for your wallet and the world. Let’s Make It Personal At ProLux Energy, we’re here with party hats on—ready to celebrate with you.
