Happy Earth Day, everyone! Even though we are social distancing, it is still a beautiful day to get outside and enjoy all of nature’s beauty within our reach. Find a new nature spot you’ve never explored, drive to a picturesque view near you, or simply sit outside and breathe in some fresh air. Now more than ever, it’s so important to get outside, even just for a short walk. Here is a list of ways to celebrate Earth Day while social distancing from the Green Living Blog: https://askhrgreen.org/50-ways-to-celebrate-earth-day-during-social-distancing/.
