Touch grass? Nah. This Earth Day, we’ve got a better idea (or a dozen).

Have a nature photography competition.
Prettiest sunset shot makes the IG carousel.

Collect and press wildflowers.
Your beloved blooms can live on in a scrapbook page, b-day card or DIY bookmark.

Try birdwatching.
Bc knowing exactly who’s chirping outside the window is kind of a flex.

Pick something delish.
Ever had a shortcake with strawberries straight from the patch? You’ll never go back.

Draw a chalk masterpiece.
Call it a date and invite your crush to sketch silly sidewalk portraits of each other.

Stargaze.
Download a free constellation app like Sky Guide and become your squad’s resident astronomer.

Host a backyard Olympics.
Prediction: You’re clinching podium in hula hooping, spike ball *and* cornhole.

Fly a kite.
Head to the park on a breezy day and let the wind do its thing.

Ditch the AirPods.
Brave the walk to school without blasting music or a podcast. Hearing the leaves rustle = a breath of fresh air for your brain.

Make non-basic s’mores.
As in, cinnamon graham crackers and ooey-gooey Reese’s.

Hit up a sculpture garden.
All the photo opps of an art museum, but you’ll actually get your vitamin D.

Volunteer to clean up litter.
It doesn’t have to be Earth Day to show Mother Nature you’ve got her back forever and always.
