Let's Build Better, Not Just on Earth Day. Everyday.
Last Updated: Jun 26, 2025Today is the 51st Earth Day. Last year, Rise wrote extensively about Earth Day's origins and offered ideas on celebrating it with your families and virtually. It is, undoubtedly, an important day. However, we strongly feel that prioritizing the environment at home is essential every day of the year, not just on April 22nd!

Start Small
Are you overwhelmed by all the advice about sustainable homes? Don't know where to start? My advice is to start small. You don't need to overhaul your entire house at once. And, you don't need to know everything right at the start - there is so much to learn!
There is such an abundance of changes and improvements we could make; if you try to do it all, you might just stop where you started. At Rise, we want to meet you where you are. We don't want to make you feel distressed about all that you haven't done. Every step takes you closer to a healthier home with a smaller impact on your wallet.
