Lots of opportunities to work and play on Earth Day 2018

Earth Day is  Saturday, April 21, with numerous events and activities planned for West County. 

I appreciate how Earth Day has grown through the years, combining family fun with impactful environmental work projects. Even as the Trump administration  attempts to reduce important protections to our air, water, and open space, we can still take a stand locally. Participating in Earth Day is one way of doing this. 

I hope you'll join me at one of these events.
