Earth Day
Earth Day is April 22. The first Earth Day took place in 1970, when 20 million Americans participated across the country. Although we can’t celebrate this year’s 50th anniversary together, there are lots of things that we can still do to learn about the earth, our natural resources and what we can do to preserve them.
We’ve included links to some suggestions below!
