It has been almost 30 years since the first annual Earth Day celebration kicked off in the U.S. on its annual April 22nd date. It seems as every year passes, more and more people are "going green" with more readily available educational classes/workshops, consumer products, and organic foods to help them on their quest of saving the earth one recycled can at a time. Even Clorox has a "greenworks" line that has hit grocery stores recently. If a bleach company can attempt to be more eco-friendly, can't we all try to do our small part?
So what is happening in Tampa for the big day?
