Today is Earth Hour Day and across the globe people are encouraged to switch off their lights and give an hour for the Earth or spend 60 minutes doing something - anything -positive for our planet.

Although Earth Day is everyday, it's a lovely reminder to celebrate her in mindful and simple ways. I'm a big believer that even the smallest of actions has an impact that creates a ripple effect.

Here are 10 ways you can celebrate and give back to the Earth today.

1. Take a walk in nature and connect with the beauty around you. Connecting us to our environment promotes not only our well-being but a deeper passion for protecting it.
2. Dedicate an hour to collecting rubbish on your local beach, park or Forest. Read more about our past cleanups here.
3. Step outside and have a picnic under the stars. A simple meal with your favourite people away from screens will do wonders for your nervous system.
4. Look at local volunteer groups you could join. Great for the earth and community connection.
5. Immerse and engage children in nature. Viewing nature through their eyes is a very special thing.
6. Reduce your food waste. Eat leftovers, repurpose scraps or revive floppy vegge. More tips here.
7. Choose skincare products with natural clean ingredients and reusable/home-compostable packaging so you are not adding to the toxic load on your body or landfill. Check out our naturally clean skincare range here.
8. Use social media to share eco-friendly tips, you never know who you will inspire!
9. Start a herb garden at home or on your windowsill or regrow your kitchen scraps.
10. Make your own plastic-free snacks to reduce plastic packaging.
