GoKawiilSpring is in the air, and that means it's once again Earth Day. The day was commemorated in 1970 to bring awareness to the damage being done to our environment. To further this message, notable companies like Apple and Microsoft have implemented plans to reduce their carbon footprint and use more renewable energy.
If you're looking to get involved and do your part today, look no further than your home, school, office and the many other places you visit daily to help out our environment. The possibilities are endless, but one of the most common options is to recycle.

Note: Recyclable items may vary by location, so check with your local recycling center or government agency if you have questions.
