Finally, after having gone missing for many long winter months the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and rain has replaced the snow. April is here, welcoming a new season, imprinting green on the minds of all Michiganders. April showers not only bring May flowers, but other things as well.
Lately, when one thinks of “green,” foliage, fruit, and frogs aren’t the only things that come to mind. Green means sustainability. April 22 marks Earth Day, a day to celebrate our natural environment.
The first Earth Day was celebrated in April, 1970, to promote respect for the environment and raise awareness of important environmental issues. Earth Day is now celebrated globally in more than 150 countries.
