April 22 is Earth Day, but why not celebrate it all year? From Today.com comes this explanation of what Earth Day is about:
Celebrated annually on April 22, Earth Day is a welcome reminder to give our planet some much-needed TLC to ensure a better, healthier future. That means, you should carve out time to reassess your own carbon footprint and commit to making eco-friendly lifestyle changes. You can also turn it into a teachable moment for kids, helping them better understand the importance of taking care of the planet for all the generations to come.
