Each year on April 22, we celebrate the planet with Earth Day. It’s a reminder to do what we can to help protect the planet’s environment, as well as a celebration of all that the Earth does for us. We benefit from the natural world so much, from the air we breathe, to clean water, to the many benefits nature has for our mental health.
