I hope all of you are having a healthy Earth Day so far. I skipped my morning coffee because biking to work is all I need to wake my sleepy bones up! If you're still wondering how to celebrate the planet today, here are some simple suggestions to get you in the spirit of things. Just remember — reduce, reuse, recycle!

Wherever you live, there's probably something special happening tomorrow in celebration of Earth Day. Some of the more common festivities are tree planting ceremonies, live concerts and speaking events, and huge recycling drives.
While I won't be attending anything, I will be ramping up my efforts to be green by biking everywhere I go, not using any electricity at home, and having a meat-free day. I'll also be dropping off a huge load of clothes to my neighborhood Goodwill. But the cherry on my sundae is the ecards I'm sending out to my friends. Each one has a little tip on how my friends can do their part to celebrate the planet. I know that ecards are a bit annoying but the whole point of Earth Day is to raise awareness. Hopefully, I won't get kicked off anyone's email list!
How about you . . .
I love the arrival of Spring, so April is one of my favorite times of year. It makes total sense that Earth Day falls during April, too. We all get to head outdoors for our workouts and celebrate everything that the planet has to offer. Our April picks are all about being fit, but in the most responsible way. You'll find gear that is made in sustainable ways using responsible materials, and it's my hope that you'll even be inspired to plant a tree or two!
