Each year on Earth Day millions of individuals come together to drive positive action for our Planet.
And there’s never been a more important time than now to recognize what huge environmental problems we are facing.
But first, we need to appreciate all it is that our precious Planet brings us.
We need to reconnect.
We need to see ourselves as one with Mother Nature.
Without that…there’s nothing driving the much needed change.
So here are events Australia wide that will help you reconnect & take part in year’s Earth Day.
