Learn to sign: EARTH DAY in American Sign Language

[@serendipitysisters84]

I like how your shake is very fast and controlled! I watched some before this and they really spun their hand around the earth haha.

[@octaviodiaz1997]

I’m so happy that I was actually able to understand most of what you were signing. Thanks for all the help you’ve given me!!

[@airama.9966]

I clean up trash in my neighborhood and at the beach and hiking trails, recycle, and avoid plastics when i go food shop. Thanks Meredith!

[@ASLMeredith]

Don't love that you have to do that, but love that you do take the initiative!!

Thank YOU!

I started to use silicone bags to put my daughters sandwich in. That will save on some of the plastic waste. I also use Tupperware type containers to freeze or store leftover foods. And bring my own coffee cup to my favorite bistro when I want to purchase a cup of coffee. One of the stores I shop at gives a bag discount at the checkout for bringing your own bags.

[@ASLMeredith]

Yes that's a great idea! I've been slowly switching over kitchen supplies like that over the years, and this is a good reminder to try silicone bags at last! Thanks for sharing!

Hello!!!! So glad to see you posting!! I think that if we were more conscious of our everyday habits, the small things can really make an impact. I think work places should go with the large bottle filtered water that allows people to fill their bottles rather than a drinking faucet, using air dryers in restrooms, using washcloths as rags instead of paper towels, shutting off the water when brushing teeth or shaving. Also, I have made more of an effort to join my errands to when I am out for appointments so that I am not only saving gas money, but the pollution level.

[@ASLMeredith]

These are great improvements!!! Using washcloths instead of paper towels and keeping the water off While brushing are two things I’ve personally focused on the past 2 years. Thanks for sharing!

[@pedrorivero685]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@roshanpawar3181]

i love ASL and ISL

[@ASLwithAndreaGregory]

I was taught that the fingers are placed on each side of the wrist as apposed to the hand where you touched. Have you ever seen it on the wrist?

[@ASLMeredith]

Thanks for sharing! No, haven’t seen that.

[@ASLwithAndreaGregory]

@@ASLMeredith I think it's the same sign, just fingers move a little from person to person... on the hand seems to be the original way, so, Thanks 😊

[@yessicanaomi6794]

❤ thanks

[@rmpkeys4931]

Thank you for these posts! Love them!

[@ASLMeredith]

Thank YOU! I'm so glad you enjoy learning here :)

[@charlettea.p.kealoha8050]

Why? Cause we recognize May Day here in the islands 🏝. May 1st.

[@roshanpawar3181]

Hi! I want to english learning in ISL me

[@OG-gv5hl]

Flat earth with dome over the top?

[@ASLMeredith]

No, rounded earth, with non:dominant fingers representing the axis it spins on

[@OG-gv5hl]

@@ASLMeredith Looks like a flat earth + dome to me.

[@lookingfortruth1930]

@@OG-gv5hl that doesn't look round to me. It looks like a dome on earth's ground

[@scribnibble9828]

As far as I know, reducing the amount of meat you eat is a low effort, high impact habit. Not even eating NO meat, just LESS.

[@ASLMeredith]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@annahoward7949]

Do to overpopulation and the mass destruction Humainty has caused Earth we are past the point of no return. Global warming is killing my states power grid and I do HVAC for a living. Anywho, maybe I should go back to your earlier videos I'm not advanced enough to catch your signs in between describing the sign you are teaching. Is there a video of you signing at a slower speed when you are just doing complete sentences?

[@fenurse]

Cause earth is flat so that makes sense!😮

[@ASLMeredith]

The non-dominant hand represents the globe, and the dominant hand fingers are pinching the axis on which it spins.

[@beenice1555]

I was wondering: have you ever done a video on video game vocabulary? That’d be super fun!!

[@Hans17125]

Happy earth day! I have a small question is there a difference between the signs for “girl” and “every day”? Or is it a out of context situation? Thank you! 🪸🌏✨🌊

[@rosieasl]

What I learned is that girl has the thumb rub on the jawline towards the chin. Every day is a fist, with the fingers along the jawline but moving in a linear movement to the cheek. So it is the movement and position of the hand shape. Hopefully if I am incorrect, I will also be corrected by Meredith

[@ASLMeredith]

Thanks for the question, Sharkie - and the answer, Patrick! Yes, the sign GIRL is palm-facing-forward, with the thumb pointing toward and dragging along the jawline. For EVERYDAY, the palm is facing inward toward your head and it's the knuckles that brush along the jawline. A video on this is coming !! Stay tuned.
