Today is Earth Day! Here’s a question for you…when was the last time you actually touched the earth, as in skin to earth?
This Sunday is city wide clean up day with 99.3 The Drive, sponsored by CANFOR. Sylvia, our Funchaser will be handing out CANFOR swag all day Sunday. Drivers watch out for volunteers cleaning up at the side of the road and you can find more information about clean up day at REAPS.
Earth Day is the largest civic observance in the world to raise awareness on crucial environmental issues. More than one billion people in 175 countries participate in events to commemorate the special day. The first Earth Day took place in 1970 after U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson organized a grassroots “environmental teach-in” on college campuses around the nation.
After the effects of an oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, he felt the need to spread the word on environmental issues.
