Earth Day 50th Anniversary

Today the world celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day!  If we have learned anything in the last 50 years, it is that we must do all we can to protect the earth and our environment.  There are so many ways we can do this:

• Recycling (and Recycling Right!)
• Picking up after our pets
• Choosing reusable products over single-use plastic
• Planting trees or starting a garden
• BYOB - Bringing your own bags

This year, we have so many ways to celebrate virtually!  Check out some of the following Earth Day Resources, and celebrate the amazing work done in the last 50 years!
