A Word About Recycling with Ollie Maier

Although it is still over 6 weeks away, I wanted to mention that April 22 will be the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day.

According the Earth Day website (EarthDay.org), the first Earth Day was in 1970 and mobilized millions of Americans for the protection of the planet.

"On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans — 10% of the U.S. population at the time — took to the streets, college campuses and hundreds of cities to protest environmental ignorance and demand a new way forward for our planet,” the website bio says. “The first Earth Day is credited with launching the modern environmental movement and is now recognized as the planet’s largest civic event.”
