Did you know that the first “Earth Day” was held 53 years ago in 1970?   Now more than ever Rotarians around the world are coming together to protect the environment and engage in projects that not only beautify the earth but keep the humans living on it healthy!  As your club engages in projects locally and internationally this month, spread the word through your social media platforms to inspire others to join you in service.  Maybe you don’t have the time or are physically able to do hands-on service.  There is another vital way you can help.
