Earth Day...every day.

When Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency didn’t exist, kids thought “recycling” was a new kind of bike, and the US energy policy was centered on finding more oil. Things have changed within what we are aware of, and much still remains to change.

It’s about action…and I hope that today is a day in which you celebrate each little thing you do to make the world a place our kids & grandkids will find to be as beautiful as we do today.
