Happy Earth Day!

April 22, 2009 marks the 39th birthday of Earth Day.  Born April 22, 1970 the earth day celebration was created to celebrate gains in environmental protection and create new visions to accelerate environmental progress. The US government, through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), established Earth Day as a time to unite around new actions. They promote the concept that Earth Day and every day is a time to act to protect our planet.  For more information on how you can become involved be sure to visit www.earthday.gov and www.epa.gov/earthday.
