It’s Earth Day. And this year, instead of doing the usual, you know - turning off your lights for an hour, or attending Earth Day events to buy merchandise and foods, or joining a tree-planting or cleaning-up event - we want you to think long-term when you think Earth Day. We want you to “Invest In Our Planet”. With a line-up of five social enterprises, they show us how they take the lead as we take more steps to protect Mother Earth.
