I ask you – who can look at the wonders of nature and not wonder how in the world our beautiful planet came together, one way or the other? Doesn’t matter what you call it – evolution or “Divine Intelligence;” either way, it’s a gift to cherish and protect.

With just a click of your mouse, you’ll see an infusion of avian magic that’s out of this world, yet of this earth. Savor the magical and majestic birds and more, gifts from Mother Earth. And there’s an important footnote to this story: what’s good for nature is good for people, too. Creating a sustainable and hospitable environment is critical for everyone and everything on the planet.

Little actions can have a big impact. What about picking up trash as you complete your daily run? Replacing your lawn with drought-tolerant plants? Recycling cans after the Little League game? Growing your own vegetables so you don’t need to drive to the store? Printing on both sides of your paper? Buying gently-used clothing instead of new? Starting a compost pile for those vegetable scraps? It couldn’t be easier.

Really, every day is Earth Day. Every single day gives us a chance to be grateful as we appreciate the beauty of our world. And every day gives us a chance to make our world even more beautiful.
