April 22nd is the 54th annual Earth Day. Started by Wisconsin Governor Gaylord Nelson in 1970, you can find more about the history of Earth Day plus great ways to celebrate on their official website: https://www.earthday.org/
In honor of this year's Earth Day theme "Planet vs. Plastics" we challenge you to take a hard look at all the plastics in your life and do your best to reduce them - especially single-use items like grocery bags and coffee cups. Thank you to everyone who helped to keep plastics and other single-use items out of the waste stream during this year's district conference in Fargo. You made a difference! Keep on filling up that reusable cup.
Please join us at an Environment Committee meeting anytime on the first Monday of the month, 7:00pm Central time. Standing Zoom MEETING LINK: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82983996764?pwd=d05yS0dpODFmUWZqekRaR2YyOC9IUT09
