Earth Day Adventures

Earth Day is next week, April 22, and you've probably been thinking, "I should do something this year..." Well, funny that you mention it because there are quite a few options out there for you and for your Adventure Group.

Let's start with Green Apple Festivals because they take place this week: April 17-19. Click here to visit Volunteer Central and join one of the 10 events happening in cities across the US.

The Earth Day Network is also seeking volunteers (individuals or groups). Click here to visit their volunteer page.

The US Government is getting into the act; click here for a wide variety of activities ranging from things you can do on your own to working in your community to working with the Forest Service.

Treehugger likes the idea of organizing a river clean up. Click here for more information. However, their link for getting started doesn't work so click here to connect with AmericanRivers.org.

And, of course, the Environmental Protection Agency has a site as well. Click here to visit the EPA.

Start An Adventure Club!

A few years ago, some friends and I formed an adventure club. Over wine and appetizers we decided to sponsor four adventures per year. Each one would be an opportunity to try something new or challenging or just plain fun. We all agreed to limit the group to women -- no kids, no husbands, no significant others.

That was more than eight years ago and the group has tripled in size. We maintain an ever-growing, very eclectic, master list of possible adventures. We don't limit our adventure list in any way because what one woman finds adventurous another woman may find terrifying or routine; so variety gives everyone choices. Over the years, the group has done everything from trapeze lessons to flower arranging, ghost tours to skeet shooting and skydiving. We still meet every January to plan our adventurous year.

Now it's time for you to create an adventure club of your own. Look below for adventure ideas and the basics of starting a group in your neighborhood. Then go out and expand your horizons!
