City of Annapolis Celebrates a Virtual Earth Day 50th Anniversary

Throughout the month of April, the City of Annapolis has been celebrating Earth Month with daily pledges that residents can take to help improve the planet. These virtual pledges and ideas for simple, stay-at-home earth-friendly practices are things that Annapolitans can incorporate into daily life.

These daily pledges include a pledge on April 22, 2020, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.

The pledges have been broken into four categories:

• Water (example: clean up after your pet, conserve water in the garden)

• Air (example: walk, bike or use transit, switch to LED bulbs)

• Habitat (example: grow oysters, use natural cleaning products, create a pollinator garden)

• Earth (example: opt for paperless billing, plant a tree, create a meal plan to reduce food waste)
