Earth Day was this past weekend – did you celebrate? It was created to mark the anniversary of what some consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Over 20 million people participated that year, and Earth Day is now observed on April 22 each year by more than 500 million people and in 175 countries. It is a day to raise awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment. If you have children, it is a great time to pass on a legacy about caring for nature and making everyday Earth Day. If you missed the occasion, don’t worry – all week long we are featuring great recycled crafts! These eco-friendly projects will help you celebrate while being friendly to our Earth.

I love your website! But I just wanted to ask you to please remove the link to Infarrantly Creative because when I clicked the link the website tried to attack my computer twice. Thank you! Keep on blogging!
