Steemit HomesteadingChallenge #12
Take action to save the planet this Earth Day and/or Arbor Day!
TODAY, April 22, is Earth Day and this Friday April 27 is Arbor Day! The challenge this time is to celebrate by doing something that will have a positive impact on Mother Nature!
This is a rather open-ended prompt so anything goes - plant a tree, save an animal, pick up litter, donate to a good cause… you name it! As long as you can make a solid argument that your action(s) have made the world a better place, it will be accepted! You can choose to do something for one of these days or something for both days! The actual action you chose to take does not have to be on these actual dates - just as long as they are between today and the contest deadline.
