Earth Day is coming up and you know what that means. Your social media feeds are going to be filled with people posting pictures of nature. While these posts are a great way to appreciate the Earth, it is also important to continue to learn and participate in environmentalism and conservation year-round, not just on Earth Day. If you’re unsure of where to begin, here are some events and resources where you can get started.
