Take a pinecone, cover with peanutbutter, sprinkle with the seeds from your favorite local tree. Give them to your friends to bury.

I'm writing from a small island in Croatia, Korcula. The teachers and kids from our school have been working on one idea for Earth Day for about 7-8 months -- we've been collecting bottle caps, since that's one part of plastic bottles that cannot be given for recycling and is only a waste. We turned them into a map of the Earth -- the projection of all the continents and oceans.
