Monday was National Earth Day.

National Earth Day is held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Every year around the world, Earth Day organizers promote green campaigns to reduce pollution.

Here in Humboldt, we have great programs that help reduce pollution such as Futuristic Industries, Sarcan, school programs and so much more. Although, we still need to do our part of not throwing that cup out the window or that wrapper on the ground.

We should make an effort to find that garbage can around the corner or that recycling bin in the gas station instead of throwing it out the window. It only takes a few seconds to help the planet on a daily basis.
