Yay! It's Earth Day today!

The day where we really rally behind taking care of our planet and get to see a bunch of really artsy Instagram photos of nature posted by our friends!

Today is also the 50th Earth Day so it makes this day that much more special.

So this years theme is all about climate change and I bet ya didn't realize you were helping to improve climate change without even knowing it.

Since, the entire world is basically isolating it's reduced our carbon footprint in a lot of different ways! (i.e. Air quality has improved in some places!)

SO GO US! 😜

You know what I would love to see come out of this Earth Day for Okotoks though - cleaning up our litter!

Lately I have seen a lot of people complaining on Facebook pages that are associated with our community about all the littering.

First of all - there is literally no need to litter. Second of all - if you want to make a change I challenge you to pick up any litter you might walk past. (Of course make sure you're doing this safely with Covid-19.)

Even if it's just one piece it's making a difference if we are all doing it!

We've only got one Earth, so we've got to take care of it!

To show your love and fascination for the world and to stay entertained check out this really cool Earth Day project from the town! Click HERE.

Also there's a Growing Veggies 101 Webinar going down tonight, April 22nd, so gather the family and perfect your veggie growing skills. Click HERE.

So lots of great activities to help you celebrate today and hey if you want to post a picture that makes you proud of our planet in the Facebook comments GO FOR IT. Let's show it off! lol.

Happy Earth Day Earthlings!
