Earth Day is coming up April 22nd, 2025, and what better day to get people together than with a dual purpose: Gathering and going green. In an era where we all hear about climate change, regenerative agriculture, pesticides, carbon emissions, and saving the turtles, we have an opportunity to actually step in and join the cause to support our environment’s wellness. How sweet she is to us—offering us mountains to climb (for the best summit moments), oceans to mermaid in, forests to get back to nature in, and so much more. This Earth Day, get your people together and let’s love the land that we live in.
Pro Tip: For any of the ideas below, loving the environment is more fun with friends—as well as people from any organization you’re part of. Think about what groups you’re involved with to invite more people to get together. Whether it's your gym crew, study group, your kids’ class field trip, run club, church group (you get it—if you’re part of a group somewhere), we think this is a great idea to invite everyone together to do something, make some memories, and love the earth while you’re at it.
How full are all of our closets these days, and how great is it to clear them out? Here’s a way to do a touch of spring cleaning… and you may just fill your closet back up (all in favor of the environment, of course). Clothing swaps are a fun, different sort of entertainment to get people together.
Pro Tip: Hang clotheslines in advance so guests can easily hang clothes. Secure them to fences if you have them for extra display space, or along free walls in your home.
We’ve heard of these often before, but how often have we actually done them? Whether you live in a suburban area, in the country, near the ocean, in the city or mountains, you likely can imagine an area you pass by where the litter gathers up. Now is your chance to gather your friends together, or invite a group you’re involved in, get your trash bags out, and give the land we live a little love by cleaning her up, bit by bit.
Pro Tip: Have gloves, trash grabbers, and hand sanitizer handy.
So if you do send out the invite for a trash clean-up, those are just a few reasons you can include for why it’s impactful.
Step 1: Farmers Market
Do just a little bit of research, and you’ll likely be able to find a farmers market in your area. As you stitch together weekend plans with your crew, add in stopping by a farmers market. The amount of local produce, freshly squeezed green juices, specially seasoned hummus flavors, and naturally sweetened baked goods will have you keeping the farmers market as a staple of your weekends (and don't forget your reusable bags!) Are you hungry yet… because we are.
Step 2: Farm-fresh dinner
The eating part! Now that you’re fully stocked with farm-fresh goods from the market, put it all together for a gathering to make the most of this beautiful Earth Day. May the green gatherings continue.
Planting trees or a garden can help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, create new homes for wildlife, and produce fresh fruits and vegetables. Plus, you make your community even more beautiful when you plant more flowers and trees. And how fun is it to watch them grow if they’re around your home?!
Again, this one may sound pretty common, but do you remember the last time you planted something in the ground? While you’re there, take the opportunity to get grounded. Take your shoes off, stand barefoot in the grass or dirt, and relish the moments and serenity that the earth truly does offer us.
We love bubbly water as much as a fish loves the ocean… but we also know that we can do more of our part in reducing materials thrown away regularly. Consider how you can make your own fancified drink instead of buying cans, and feel good about the environment doing so.
Alternate option: Buy sparkling water in bulk, rather than cans—most grocery stores have fun flavors available to buy in multiple servings.
Pro Tip: Add an orange, lime, or lemon wedge to homemade bubbly… and have yourself a weekend mocktail.
What’s better than a hot girl (or guy) walk to coffee on a free weekend? We’re all about coffee in its latte, cappuccino, French press, slow drip, espresso, and flat white glory… and we also love a chance to do our part for the environment. This Earth Day, incorporate BYO coffee mugs for your Saturday morning coffee shop walks.
Put together a tie dye and/or natural dye party to repurpose old clothes, instead of throwing them away. Love the environment, and love your funky new gear.
Pro Tip: Tie dye accessories like an old white ballcap, oversized tanks, or white crew socks for something different.
So, why not throw a 70s style groovy party while you’re at it? They were the ultimate original treehuggers anyway.
Now this is fun. Springtime is just about here in our neck of the woods, meaning all the more reason to be intentional to get outside and soak up time in nature. Challenge yourself and your friends to pack a picnic without using any disposable items. Think plastic utensils, plates, or cups—as in, on the do not pack list ;) Bring reusable items like metal or bamboo utensils, cloth napkins, and reusable containers for food and drinks.
Plus, check out how to elevate any social gathering—including a park experience.
There are many organizations out there that work to protect the environment: wildlife sanctuaries, nature centers, national parks, and recycling centers. Volunteering is a great way to learn more about environmental issues and contribute to important conservation efforts. And how good does it feel to put your spare time to good use?
Finally, to get to any of the above ideas, check out how you can opt to ride a bike (or any sort of wheels—hello, roller skates) rather than drive. In a world where 45-minute spin classes are a normal occurrence (complete with uphill climbs and sprints—likely more strenuous than a ride you would find yourself on to get from A to B), swapping motor wheels for bicycle wheels is more doable than you’d think. Or if driving is still the one realistic way to get there, opt to carpool. Besides, driving is more fun with friends anyway.
Earth Day may only be scheduled for one day of the year, but are we cliche if we say that everyday can be Earth Day? Pick a few of these ideas, sketch up a bingo board, and see how many of these you can get through with your friends this year. One a month sounds like a great use of Saturdays to us. Here’s to loving our earth back… she sure does love us well.
There's something timeless about a Slim Aarons photograph: the crisp linens, the cocktails held just-so, the oversized sunglasses hiding secrets behind every lens. It’s aspirational without trying too hard. And it’s this exact effortless elegance that makes the Slim Aarons aesthetic the ultimate inspiration for your next summer gathering.
Starting a run club is an excellent way to foster community, promote fitness, and create meaningful connections with fellow running enthusiasts.
