This challenge reminds me of and old saying; "If everyone does a little, no one has to do a lot". If we all make small positive changes it can make a big difference in the health of the planet.

Well, today is Earth Day and shouldn't every day be Earth Day? There is no planet B. Happy to be a part of a group which recognizes the importance a number of small everyday activities can make to make our home a better place.
