Our planet is an amazing place and we need to help it thrive. Each year on April 22nd, more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day to take action to help protect our planet from pollution, plant trees or clean up rivers.
Here locally there are many nonprofits who are working tirelessly to help protect our community and create a sustainable future for Charlotte.
