Earth Day 2020 - 50th anniversary!

This year, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22, 2020. 
The connection that we have to nature, plants, and the land is integral to our health and all that we are. 
Earth Day reminds us to take care of our planet—whether it’s cleaning up litter, planting more trees, recycling and repurposing, or going on a walk in a green space amidst the wildflowers. Celebrate!
The “green things growing” whisper me
Of many an earth-old mystery
.
–Eben Eugene Rexford

Listen to Michael Jackson's Earth Song and get inspired!
