April is here, and Earth Day is just around the corner. First observed in 1970, this annual April 22 event is a global initiative focused on environmental protection, sustainability, and fostering ecological responsibility.
Whether you are looking to adopt more sustainable habits or plan to visit a national park, Earth Day is the ideal time to celebrate the outdoors.
