Lights. Camera. Climate action! In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, we\u2019re digging deeper than the \u201cwell said\u201d soundbite or your \u201cwell-done\u201d weekly recycling. All you\u2019ll need is a bit of elbow grease and your own patch of earth.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The theme for Earth Day 2020<\/a> is climate action<\/em>, and following in the footsteps of the 20-million Americans who took to the streets in 1970 to protest environmental ignorance and demand a new way forward for our planet, we\u2019re not letting the COVID outbreak get in the way of us celebrating and achieving gold. So this year, we\u2019re taking the fight to our home gardens. Gardening has already proven to provide stress relief<\/a>, and with 90 percent of us<\/a> under stay-at-home orders, there\u2019s been a resurgence in victory gardening<\/a>. According to CBS, victory gardening \u201cwas a homefront craze during the World Wars, when Americans were encouraged to grow their own produce to supplement rations.\u201d Joining in on the trend is the perfect way for individual families to unite in a demonstration of support for environmental protection.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here are some other great local resources to get your Earth Day 2020 victory gardening activities underway.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
