April 22nd is a day set aside known as Earth Day. This day is to demonstrate environmental protection. Earth day is to raise awareness on pollution, deforestation, and climate change, as well as showing the importance of protecting Earth and conserving its natural resources. Earth day serves as a reminder that all living things are connected one way or another, given that we all depend on Earth and natural resources. This day encourages people to reduce their environmental footprints, like recycling and conserving energy! It is doable, but we just must all come together to protect our land and to keep our community beautiful!

Kynslie Riffe said “Earth day is a great day to give glory to God for His beautiful creation of this Earth, and to admire how lucky we are to live on such a beautiful planet. I feel that people should take more consideration into keeping a clean environment, I feel like it would improve overall health!” Connor Shores said, “Earth day helps me take a step back and appreciate our community and the Earth as a whole. I know there are ways to make this a cleaner and healthier environment, and there is always room for improvement, people just have to put in an effort!”
