Happy Earth Day 2016

Earth Day 2016

We are celebrating Earth Day 2016 by sharing some of our ‪‎environment‬ articles which both highlight and hopefully impact the need for everyone’s participation in nurturing the ‎Earth‬ each and every day.

Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
