Anthony K 9/09/2016 9:28 AMFor those of you note familiar that giant photo is Mr John Muir....If you aren't familiar with him and love our national parks - spend some time looking he and Mr Teddy Roosevelt up. We have much to thank them for. Mr Muir is an inspiration to me. My favorite quote from him: The mountains are calling and I must go>" -
Anthony K 9/09/2016 9:14 AMLook forward to this challenge every year. So excited to see it come around. Such a great way to encourage others to reduce, reuse, recycle, compost, get outside and love some nature. Turn off that water, turn off those lights, take a hike, go canoeing, pass on that receipt at the pump, show with your reusable bags. Little changes in our daily lives can make a huge impact on our environment
