This year marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. To commemorate, the Nature Conservancy has five simple ways you can help.

1. Use Reusable Bags

Hundreds of thousands of marine animals die every year from ingesting plastic bags.

2. Eat Sustainably

You eat fish even when you don’t: 36% of world’s fisheries catch is used to feed farm animals.

3. Green Your Gardening

Plant native species – they require less fertilizer, which can seep into oceans!

4. Adopt A Coral Reef

70% of all Earth’s coral reefs will be destroyed by 2050, act now!

5. See Oceans, Save Oceans

See OCEANS (4/22-4/28) & a portion of ticket sales benefits The Nature Conservancy’s work on coral reefs.
