Today is Earth Day, the
annual celebration to raise awareness and advocate for change on issues that
impact our home - Planet Earth! The Earth
Day initiative began in 1970 and has grown to include events
coordinated globally that involve over a billion people in more than 193
countries. The 2024 theme is “Planet vs. Plastics” to raise awareness of
the health risks of plastics, with the goal to phase out use of single-use
plastics. Thanks to our friends at Positively Present for illustrating wonderful
suggestions we can do to love our Home Planet!
InnerAct Alliance and
coalition partners, StandUP Polk and UthMpact, support Earth
Day and local efforts to keep our community safe year-round. This
Saturday, April 27 we will join the DEA and 6 Polk County enforcement agencies to
host National Prescription Drug Take Back Day for citizens to turn in unused expired human and pet
medications for safe disposal – this keeps medication from being misused or winding
up in lakes and streams harming the water supply and wildlife.
