April 22 is Earth Day! A fun and interesting activity to celebrate is making seed bombs. All you need is scrap paper, water, and flower seeds. Soak the paper in water for 20 minutes, squeeze out excess water, then place in a blender and process into a pulp. Mix paper pulp with seeds and roll into 2-inch balls. Allow to dry overnight, and then your seed bombs are ready to plant. Pro Tip: Take a walk or ride with your loved one and toss the seed bombs into empty lots or along roadsides. It's also a great way to involve younger generations.
