Ask your Assistant on Android phones, “where is the nearest community garden?”

Have your Assistant in Allo “Tell me some earth day tips.” Paperless bills, turning off the water,
biking and more!
“Play some nature sounds” on your Google Home to bring the outside in.
“Ok Google, tell me a fact about nature.” From the Chocolate Hills in the Philippines to the
North Pole, learn about the world.
Do some good and ask your Assistant on Pixel “Where is the closest recycling center?”
Close your eyes, listen to the sounds of nature (from your Assistant, a seashell or otherwise) and have a great weekend!
