| Hi friends, Happy Earth Week! 🌍 As we get our hands dirty to plant trees, reduce waste, and celebrate the beauty of our planet this week, let's remember that every day offers a chance to make sustainable choices. If you haven't seen the City's schedule of events for this week's celebrations, check it out on their website! Don't get too relaxed though - there's a slew of Cinco de Mayo festivities swinging our way next week! - Cassie
