Today is Earth Day! The annual event was first celebrated in 1970 to support environmental protection and eco-friendly lifestyle alternatives. Small changes in your actions can make a huge difference for the planet. Recycling, turning off the water while you brush your teeth or taking your own reusable bag to the grocery store to avoid plastic waste are just a few examples of being environmentally-friendly. There are plenty of ways you can celebrate Earth Day in the Triad. Visit High Point on Saturday for the Great American Cleanup, or stop by the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market for new plants for your garden on Sunday.
