We’re celebrating Earth Day – all week long! Earth Day is a unique opportunity for all of us to reflect on the beauty of our world and what we can do to protect natural resources and promote conservation. Going solar is a great way to support sustainability and renewable energy, which not only helps the planet, but also saves you money.
Although the world is looking a little different these days, there are still lots of opportunities to celebrate. All week long we will be sharing Earth Day and solar-inspired activities, crafts, resource sheets, and much more that you can do from home.
