May 7th, 2012

April 22, 2012 was the 42nd anniversary of Earth Day. More than a billion people, spread across 192 countries, took part in events the world over in order to draw attention to the serious environmental challenges facing us today. Speaking with one voice, the message they sent out was clear: take immediate action to preserve and protect our planet!
