What's Up for Earth Day?


Earth Day is Tuesday, April 22. Aside from the everyday effort we make to ensure we're doing what we can to protect and enhance our environment, we can do more: offset our carbon emissions by planting trees. Planting even one tree makes a difference.

Check out The Conservation Fund's Go Zero program, which provides a carbon calculator, as well as the opportunity to donate a few dollars to plant trees.

If you'd rather plant a tree on your own, that's great too. Just do something -- walk to work or the store or the gym instead of driving; make a commitment to give up your disposable plastic water bottles once and for all; pack your groceries in canvas bags. Then breathe the air, prays it's clean, and continue to slay some dragons.
