Earth Day 2022 – Invest in Our Planet

Act boldly
Innovate broadly
&
Implement equitably

We are excited to get out in person again to say hello and share all about the important environmental issues impacting our communities here in NC. Since April 22, 1970, millions of people throughout the US have participated in the annual day of awareness and volunteerism with Mother Earth as the star. It expanded through the decades into a worldwide phenomenon. This year, the theme is “Invest in Our Planet” to “act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably).”
