Today, April 22nd, marks Earth Day and this year's theme is “Invest In Our Planet”. Our 'Green Bag' Committee, which was formed in 2014 with the goal of making a greener workspace, invited our teams to share some environmentally friendly activities they would be partaking in today to help us all inspire each other.

Take a look at some of the activities our staff have shared with us in celebration of Earth Day!

Our Green Bag committee also shared some of their own tips for people Working from Home with opportunities to help reduce impact on the environment AND in a lot of cases even help gain some savings.

To further spread the joy of going greener, we've got some useful kid-friendly lessons from our shows to help get your little ones started on their green journey! From tips on recycling to crafting to discovering the beauty of nature, there's something to inspire the passion for investing in our planet, today and every day.

Help your little ones learn about recycling! “Recycling is something you can do, it makes old things something new.”

Try this Daniel Tiger inspired Earth Day activity via PBS Kids: Grow sprouts from dried beans!

With this activity, children can see day by day that living things grow — but it takes time and we have to wait! Usually things grow so slowly we can’t see them growing – like ourselves but with this activity we can see how something grows each day. As Mister Rogers sang “You’re bigger than you were a day ago.”

Celebrate Earth week with @danieltigertv and this grr-ific activity! When your little one plants and cares for these bean jars, they’ll learn that growing takes time! Check out the fun activity here! https://t.co/kXVu9vdCJh pic.twitter.com/pYmKtItwG0
