17 Earth Day Memes To Help You Celebrate The Environment

It's nearly impossible to celebrate a holiday without social media these days, but for certain festivities, I think it works. Especially for a holiday like Earth day, which doesn't get as much love as Christmas or Halloween. Earth Day is celebrated every April 22, but it often falls off of the holiday radar. Luckily, with plenty of Earth Day memes, you can get in the spirit and make a difference in the world.

Just think about how great social media, especially memes, are at going viral and spreading the word about something? Earth Day is the perfect holiday for these posts. Since 1970, Earth Day has been celebrated in an effort to motivate people to take action for the sake of our planet. It's a great excuse to educate yourself, your children, and your friends about the damage we're doing to Earth and how our conscious efforts can save it. With plenty of nation-wide events and activities to celebrate, why not spread the Earth Day cheer to your social media followers?

With any of these 17 memes, you can either motivate others to get out and make a difference for our planet or simply remind them that it's Earth Day with something funny. Social media may get a bad rap some days, but when it's time to encourage others to make an effort for the sake of our planet, these memes can do the trick.

I know, planting one tree or recycling for a few months doesn't feel like you're reducing your carbon footprint too much. But you are. Keep fighting the good fight.

Fair Warning

According to The Atlantic, in 2014, there were enough Keurig coffee pods sold to circle the globe 10.5 times and most of them? They end up in landfills. So don't show off that new Keurig machine anywhere near Earth Day. And pick up a real coffee maker while you're at it, OK?
