With spring comes the annual celebration of Earth Day. This day is a special reminder that it is important to care for the Earth every day!
There are so many Earth Day activities, and who would have thought there were eco-friendly crochet items to make?
These useful crochet items include zero-waste options, like the Bar Soap Holder. Just tuck the bar of soap inside and the soap holder saves every last bit of the bar until it is used.
The Duster Cover is an eco-friendly substitute for those disposable sweeper covers bought, used once, and tossed. Imagine how many once-and-done sweeper covers could be prevented from adding to the landfill.
Market bags are reusable totes that can carry just about anything and everything. They are a wonderful replacement for plastic or paper grocery bags, which end up in landfills. A DIY market bag is the perfect solution.
There are two very different tutorials for DIY makeup remover pads. These little crocheted circles work wonders, can be washed and reused, and are so much better for the environment than disposable pads.
For the ultimate in an eco-friendly project, learn to crochet using plastic bag yarn! Use up those plastic bags AND make one of the projects below with the "plarn".
It is possible to crochet useful household items that will help save the Earth. In celebration of Earth Day, get that handy crochet hook and colorful yarn out to make some of these items for yourself or to give as little Earth Day favors.
Earth Day Activities for Adults
There are many Earth Day crafts and activities for kids to enjoy. In what way can adults celebrate Earth Day?
- Plant trees and flowers
- Carpool or use public transportation
- Pack meatless lunches
- Pick up garbage
- Compost
- Keep lights off in unoccupied rooms
- Ride a bike to work
Do your part to care for the Earth on Earth Day and every day! Enjoy a favorite hobby, crocheting eco-friendly household items that help save the environment.
