Happy Earth Day! Held annually, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the modern environmental movement in 1970. It also serves as a reminder to do your best to minimize your carbon footprint and live sustainably.
We have gathered some resources from a few of our community partners to help you educate yourself and others on what it means to be environmentally friendly, both in the workplace and at home.

This is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political climate, and how we take action on climate. Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families, and our livelihoods.
For Earth Day 2022, we need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). It’s going to take all of us. All in. Businesses, governments, and citizens — everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable. A partnership for the planet.
