Earth Day Empowerment: S3DA Aims to Inspire Youth to Make a Difference

Earth Day serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to safeguard the environment and our own future. Like Earth Day, S3DA as an organization is committed to environmental awareness and education. S3DA aims to inspire youths to make a difference in their own community by encouraging them to pick up litter, plant trees, or restore natural habitats. These hands-on activities not only benefit the environment but also instill a sense of responsibility in young people. No matter who you are, where you are, or what you do, you have the power to bring about real and positive change.

S3DA continually educates young people on the importance of taking care of our planet. This Earth Day, S3DA invites youth members to complete an Earth Day Quiz via a Google Form. This quiz will challenge youths on how much they know about good environmental habits and possibly even teach them something new along the way! Every S3DA youth member that completes the quiz will be entered into a random drawing for a chance to WIN an S3DA “Earth Day Giveaway” Prize Package.

The S3DA “Earth Day Giveaway” prize package includes:

  • An exclusive S3DA Conservation T-shirt and Pin
  • A reusable water bottle to promote eco-friendly hydration.
  • An S3DA sticker, pen, and decal
  • Seed packets for planting native species
  • A variety of wholesome snack mixes
  • And a mystery prize to add an element of excitement!

S3DA Social Media Marketing Coordinator, Kayla Bolton said, “Earth Day is not just about one day of the year. It is about the choices that we make every day. These young people have the power to shape a sustainable future. Taking steps to protect our planet is crucial, and there are many ways that we can all contribute. This Earth Day quiz is very simple and takes about five to fifteen minutes to complete. So, why not challenge yourself and strengthen your vocabulary all while learning about Earth Day.”

“Earth Day celebrates our planet! While global challenges may seem overwhelming, Earth Day encourages us to focus on small actions that collectively make a difference. Whether it is reducing plastic waste, conserving energy, or supporting sustainable practices, every effort counts. It reminds us that protecting the environment represents a future for generations to come, emphasizing the importance of keeping our environment healthy and sustainable,” states S3DA National Conservation Coordinator, Patty Reel.
