Celebrate Earth DAY
April 22
is Earth Day, the culmination of hundreds of activities and events around the
nation created to draw attention to the importance of protecting our earth
through awareness and appreciation of the environment. Earth Day is a time to
create new global policies, local efforts and personal pledges to accelerate
environmental progress. It is also a time to celebrate improvements we’ve
already made. Not only Earth Day BUT Every Day is a
time to act to protect our planet. Celebrating Earth Day Every Day means doing
things that save energy, conserve water, reducing, reusing and recycling what we
can and making choices that protect our environment. This year marks the 40th
Anniversary of Earth Day, which is sure to create great excitement around our
communities.
