“There’s so much beauty surrounding us, I’d hate to be the cause of its extinction…” – Travis T.
“Each day this sweet Earth…feeds, clothes, houses and INSPIRES every one of us. Let’s protect our home.”– Christina C.
“I found the love of my life on Earth Day 3 years ago, and this year we are having an eco-friendly wedding.”–Mara A.
We all have our reasons for going green–for our family, our children, our pets. Maybe you want other generations to experience the crisp waterfall you swam under in Costa Rica or the calm waters you kayaked in Alaska?
Whatever your reason, share it with others and inspire them to join you in your mission.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa along with Universal Pictures Chairman, Adam Fogelson, and Co-Chairman, Donna Langley kicked off the event and NBCU announced a $10,000 grant to Los Angeles Conservation Corps to support year-round maintenance of the area.
