As you can see our trash is a serious problem on our shorelines. Some organizations are doing great things to make a difference but its’ not enough. We must all work together worldwide to make a positive impact.
We all have the ability to make a difference by reducing the amount of single-use items we use daily. Change can be difficult but I challenge you to Make The Switch for Nature
The Earth Day 2022 theme is Invest In our planet. What will you do to make a difference on April 22nd? Below is my Earth Day Challenge
- Place twenty-two #mts4n shells in the coastal forest
- Pick up twenty-two pieces of beach trash
- Donate twenty-two dollars to Earthday.org
- Donate twenty-two dollars to Oceanconservancy.org
- Go on a nature walk for twenty-two minutes
- Twenty-two-hour intermittent fasting challenge
These are the twenty-two #mts4n shells that will be placed in the coastal forest for hermit crabs in need. I often find hermit crabs adapting with single-use plastic. Shell over-collecting is a huge problem in Okinawa.

I recommend participating in a beach cleanup. Get outdoors for some nature therapy!

Not all marine debris washes ashore. It’s important to participate in underwater cleanups as well.
Hopefully, this post will inspire you to make a positive change for Earth Day 2022. Have an awesome day!
