Happy Earth Day!
Fifty-five years ago a bunch of concerned citizens decided that Mother Earth deserved her own holiday. We are still fighting.

We are very good at ruining it. Now they show the Mariana Trench or some pristine Alaskan coastline and there's plastic bottles

We are very efficient parasites!

We spent the afternoon cutting out evasive plant species on our property. Hitting the native plant sales this weekend.

Trump celebrated Earth Day by firing 280 EPA workers.
