Happy Earth Day!

Well, it's finally here, the day we've been waiting for all month for (actually, all year)...Earth Day!

We've had a fun month sharing tips, links and stories, and it's all come down to today. If you're a Culpeper local, we hope you'll join us this evening at 6pm for our 2nd annual Davis Street Clean Up! We will meets at Green Nest, where you can pick up any supplies you may need, and then we will disperse from there (in the case that it is raining, the Clean Up will be rescheduled until Monday, 4/25 at 6pm...stay tuned into our facebook page for updates).

We also hope you will check out our YouTube page to see some Culpeper locals answering the question, "How are you green?". You can find the videos here:

Today, instead of a tip, we are going to share a little bit about Earth Day:

According to Wikipedia, "Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970...Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year."

How incredible that one day can bring 175 countries together for one celebration...especially when that celebration is our planet.

So, today, we hope you will remember your reusable shopping bag, think twice before throwing away a recyclable item, turn off the light when you leave a room, and pick up that piece of liter off the street.
