I LOVE the work of this organization... What did you do for Earth Day today? What was your side-effect? Tag me or comment on this post!
Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Today, we hope you take some time outside to learn, play, explore, reflect, or rest. Here are just a small handful of the many benefits found after being immersed in the outdoors. What's your favourite side effect of stepping beyond four walls?
