What are you doing to live more sustainably?
Check out one cool invention that is helping to reduce plastic waste. (And remember, you can always just refuse a plastic straw too!)

How much food can you grow on 1/10th of an acre?
Inspiring family produces 90% of their staple foods for their vegetarian diet, all on a small city lot.

Earth is special. It's the only place in the universe that we know contains life. Celebrate its beauty with these amazing images of our home planet from our #EarthDay photo gallery! Take a look, download and maybe even use one as your device's wallpaper: https://t.co/Z3YfuRz7U1

One straw at at time. Let's work together on small steps that will add up to big changes: The actions we all take to #endplasticpollution have a collective effect. Get our toolkit and use our calculator to reduce your own plastic use https://t.co/t6uCIhrIzU #EarthDay2018

We love visiting Environmental Charter Middle + High Schools in #LA! We’ve been working with them since 2011+ the students take amazing care of their trees. We can’t wait to see how the trees we planted this year are doing next time we visit!

Many thanks to @nutiva for bringing a new #schoolorchard to #MontalvinManor Elementary School! #CommonVision + Nutiva have partnered together to bring an orchard to every public school in @CA_Richmond. 6 years, 28 schools + 13,000 students later that vision is a reality!

[Common Vision @Common_Vision_]

Talk about girl power! The Flower Power Club at Laurel School worked alongside us in their 1 year old orchard to paint + fertilize the trees, + learned about what the trees will need in the future so they can keep caring for them. 🌸💪🌸 #CommonVision #GiveBack #LaurelLeopards

[Common Vision @Common_Vision_]

We 💚 our trees and show them lots of love by providing them with #CaliforniaOrganicFertilizer to help them grow tall. (Thanks @OrganicXpert for providing the materials!) How do you show love to the trees or plants in your neighborhood?

[Common Vision @Common_Vision_]

When we paint orchard signs with our students, we ask them to choose a message to pass on to their community. Check out what some of our students are leaving as their legacy to their school! #CommonVision | #YoungLeaders

[Common Vision @Common_Vision_]

When #CommonVision visits, kids get their hands dirty! These students at #EnvironmentalCharterSchools in #LA painted a sign for a pomegranate tree, so people will know what kind of fruit will be growing soon! True #HandsOnEducation!

[Common Vision @Common_Vision_]

2 years later and this tree is growing strong at @ECMasonElem! It should be producing fruit as early as next year -- we can't wait! #CommonVision #BeforeAndAfter

[Common Vision @Common_Vision_]

Many hands make light work! Students at #ChulaVista #HighSchool brought drills, wrenches and paintbrushes out into their #schoolorchard, and helped our volunteers repair some orchard signs!

[Common Vision @Common_Vision_]

#Students joined our #volunteers out in the orchard today at Laurel School in Brea! This orchard was planted just 1 year ago, look how tall those #fruittrees are getting!

[Common Vision @Common_Vision_]

Do you know what kind of fruit this is? Retweet us with your guess!
Our team is thinning fruit from the trees in order to ensure the fruit grows bigger and sweeter!
