Another Awesome April

Earth Month is an annual global initiative focused on environmental conservation and protection. While nature stewardship is a year-round, full-time undertaking, during April we give extra effort to promote the reduction of waste, pollution, and fossil fuel use, encourage sustainable farming, manufacturing, and life practices, and support environmental projects on the local, regional, national, and international stages.

Earth Month is packed with environmental activities, celebrations, and events in support of life on our planet. Following are some highlights from this year’s calendar:

World Aquatic Animal Day on April 3
