Earth Day Is Boring - What Do I Need To Know?
Earth Day is April 22nd. Every year.
If you are into Earth Day, you are already celebrating! You know the details of this year's theme (ending plastic pollution) - you know where people will be celebrating (everywhere around the globe) - and you likely already take measures in your own life to help reduce your global footprint.
But what if that doesn't describe you? What if it sounds kind of boring - what should you know and why should you care?
Reason #1
