Just last week, April 22, our country celebrated what might be one of the most important days of the year. To help ensure the future of our children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and the generations of people who will grace our Earth long after we are gone, we all have a responsibility to help ensure that Earth Day isn’t lost in the shuffle of our daily lives.
Earth Day reminds us that it’s time for us to invest in efficiency and renewable energy, rebuild our cities and towns and begin to solve the climate crisis. So let’s continue to celebrate Earth Day, as a day of education, while making personal commitments to make the world a better place to live, however minor that commitment is. Therefore, we’d like to highlight and celebrate the designers that we work with, who make an ongoing effort to enforce the message of Earth Day each and every day of the year.
