8 Gorgeous Nature Blogs for Earth Day

To inspire you to get in on this year’s celebration, here are eight amazing nature-related blogs on WordPress.com:

So, how will you celebrate Earth Day 2012? Maybe Picnic for the Planet, or plant a tree? Whatever you do, be sure to share it on your blog! And don’t forget to tag your post with Earth Day to make it easier for others to find.

    Thank you not merely for highlighting these lovely nature blogs, but also for your thoroughly old-school assumption that Earth Day ought still to be primarily about nature and biodiversity. I don’t believe we’ll ever be sufficiently inspired to limit our numbers and our appetites unless and until we fall in love with the biosphere and its inhabitants.

    We’ll be having a celebration at our county Courthouse, Helen Keller Home and Tenn Valley Art Center in Tuscumbia, Al. If I can still get into my 1995 Earth Day T-shirt, I’ll have that on.

    I always celebrate earth day…leave tvs, lights radios, and any other unecessary electronics I have on. Leave the shower and faucets running without using them and take a shower later. I’ll go green this year…use cold water instead of hot water
