Earth Day - 40th Anniversary
Thursday, April 22, 2010

This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day! Let’s do our part to save the planet for future generations.

Did you know that each day in America, more than 60 million (yes million) plastic water bottles are thrown into landfills. There is one small thing that all of us can do to help reduce that waste … drink from a reusable water bottle. Stop by the Swanson Center for your free reusable aluminum water bottle, while supplies last
