Virtual Lakewood Earth Day Celebration

Even after the virtual celebration, we will share photos and videos of Lakewood residents showing their love for the Earth! 

Send us content of yourself celebrating the Earth -- whether it's a photo of you cleaning up around your neighborhood, a love letter to the Earth using one of our postcard templates below, a short video of how you're caring for the planet, or something else to celebrate Earth Day -- we want to see it and spread the love. Send your photos, letters and videos to us at Sustainability@Lakewood.org and we'll share as many as we can.  

You can also share your photos on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtags:

Need an Earth Day activity for the kids? Let's make some animals out of recycled materials! You'll need the following supplies:

1. Egg carton - preferably the cardboard carton, easier to paint, pre-cut into single cups but do not discard any of the parts

 2. Green and orange construction paper, foam sheets, or felt cut in-half

3. Tacky Glue - if an adult is helping, then hot glue

4. Acrylic paint - white, black, green, gray. If you don't have paint, markers will do!

5. Paintbrush - small for details

6. Cup of water

7. Paper towels

You can also use other fun decorative crafts you may have around the house to decorate your animal including tissue paper, googly eyes, pom poms and/or pipe cleaners! Let's get creative! You can also have on hand an array of other paints and paper if you get inspired to make other animals.
