Celebrate What’s Around You

This week, we celebrate the Earth. April 22nd, 2020 is not only Earth Day, but Earth Day’s 50th Anniversary. That makes fifty years of the world coming together to defend our environment, to mobilize volunteers, to advocate, to educate, and to appreciate the treasure that is our planet Earth.

Trees Matter: 4 reasons that you might not have known before
Trees Matter: 4 reasons that you might not have known before

Why do we save trees? What’s the big deal about them anyways?

We bet you’re screaming at us now saying “BECAUSE THEY GIVE US OXYGEN!!”
We hear you! Trees are one of Earth’s great treasures because of their role in the carbon cycle. Flashback to high school biology! Animals and humans breathe in oxygen and exhale CO2 while trees, and other plants, do the opposite.

Toes in the Sand
Toes in the Sand

Have you found yourself at work in the middle of winter (or really, any season), wishing you could be surrounded by sand? To your left, to your right, wouldn’t it be nice if it was all sand? Do you wish, when you’re walking your dog that you actually had your toes in the sand? Holding your phone, typing on your laptop- do you wish it could be sand running through your fingertips?

Who to Talk to about Water Protection
Who to Talk to about Water Protection

Water- it’s one of Earth’s great treasures. There are two main sources of drinking water- surface water (streams, rivers, and lakes) and ground water (aquifers). Protecting these sources of water not only protect the public from health risks, but it also protects from higher treatment costs from utility systems. You probably already know this value of protecting water sources. (If you don’t- check out our August 2019 Spottlight, available on our website).

Return on Environment
Return on Environment

There are plenty of reasons to invest in Earth’s treasures and environmental sustainability. At all levels, leaders are increasingly recognizing a Return on Environment- indicating their time, energies, and funds put into Earth’s treasures and environmental sustainability are well worth the investment.

Celebrate What’s Around You

This week, we celebrate the Earth. April 22nd, 2020 is not only Earth Day, but Earth Day’s 50th Anniversary. That makes 50 years of the world coming together to defend our environment, to mobilize volunteers, to advocate, to educate, and to appreciate the treasure that is our planet Earth.

We wish we had the words to make our world feel normal right now. We wish we had the answers, or the keys, or the secret solutions to unravel all of the things that have knotted in our stomachs, in our heads, and in our hearts. Concerns, worries, the unknown, and just plain feelings of overwhelmed exhaustion- we know that all of these are consuming.

At a time that often feels more disappointing than exciting; through events that look more different now than they did before; at places that dispel different experiences than they ever have; through relationships that have changed in ways unimaginable; and through grit that works just when we all need it to.

Through all of these things- we think that finding a way to celebrate the world around us is just what we all need right now.

We are proud to be a firm that believes in promoting best environmental practices, contributing to the sustainability of our planet, and celebrating Earth’s great treasures. Because one day a year is just not enough. Our work touches everyday life; from the water you drink, to the air you breathe, to the buildings and communities where you live, work, and play.

Today, and everyday, we’re celebrating Earth’s great treasures. From the large bodies of water that go as far as the eye can see- reminding us of the grandness of Earth’s power and presence. To each tiny granular of sand- reminding us of the impact and significance of every small decision in building the world around us.

We encourage you to join us today, this week, this month, and all of those to come, in seeing, enjoying, and celebrating these treasures.
