Earth Day Flyer
This year marked the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22nd. Although we could not celebrate in person this year, your residents can still take sustainable actions in 2020 to care for the Earth while at home and celebrate the 50th anniversary. The Greenest Region Corps (GRCorps) created the below Earth Day flyer for you to share with your residents to encourage them to participate in Earth Month activities. These steps align with the consensus goals of the Greenest Region Compact, supported by 126 municipalities and 4 counties in the region. Feel free to use this PDF or image file for your website, social media or link to this webpage.
