HAPPY EARTH DAY: The 42nd anniversary of Earth Day will be celebrated this Sunday, April 22.

Everyone is encouraged to take some form of personal action as their contribution to improving the environment. It could be something as simple as leaving the car at home for the day, and cycling to school or work, installing a water barrel or water saving devices, or composting your waste. More information and other environmentally friendly ideas are available on the web at www.earthday.org
