That's right! We're just six days away from one of the best days of the year: Earth Day 2012!
This year the Greater Mobile Alabama area is having a big celebration in Fairhope, Alabama at the Fairhope Pier Park. There will be music, exhibits, talks, blessing of animals, and, of course, recycling! The best part is, it's all free!
Festivities begin at 10AM and last until 7PM, so there's plenty of time to get out there with the whole family! Taking care of our earth is important and this is a great way to pass that lesson on to your kids and learn new things that you can do at home that will not only help the earth, but might also save you money!
