Stop Food Waste day on April 26 aims to teach people ways to reduce food wastage. It’s crazy to think that around a third of the food produced on Earth goes to waste — either it’s lost or goes bad! This day aims to raise awareness of this shocking statistic. While so many on Earth go hungry, the issue of food waste is only growing.
National Blueberry Pie Day
Today, on National Blueberry Pie Day, April 28, we gather to celebrate the wonder of nature’s only true blue fruit baked into a doughy, buttery pastry. It just so happens that, at the time of this holiday, the first plump berries in North America will be coming into season, ripe for the plucking, ready to be sugar-powdered and baked. This underappreciated dessert has deep roots in American colonial history, and we mean to tell you all about them over a steaming slice of syrupy blue delight.
National Hairball Awareness Day
Falling on the last Friday in April every year, National Hairball Awareness Day, on April 24 this year, aims to promote awareness of our pets’ health and happiness. Predominantly a concern for cats, rabbits, and cattle, hairballs are a healthy part of animals’ routines, but can also be evidence of an underlying health issue. So we have all the info to help you care for your creatures this National Hairball Awareness Day.
