April is Earth Month!

This month-long celebration of the planet aims to further the Earth Day history of environmental activism. The health of the planet directly affects the health of people, and small changes in our daily life really can make a difference. While celebrating the Earth this month, take time to sign petitions, call your representatives, and reexamine your own actions.
