April 22nd is Earth Day & National Arbor Day. This year’s campaign is all about environmental & climate literacy. National Arbor Day is always celebrated on the last Friday in April, but many states observe Arbor Day on different dates throughout the year based on best tree planting times in their area.

Que no queremos cuidar.
La tierra nos está hablando,
Pero no la queremos escuchar.
Reciclar, reusar, reducir
Todos lo sabemos,
La tierra nos está hablando,
Pero no lo queremos practicar
No talas de árboles, ni desvío de ríos,
No consumo de plásticos,
La tierra nos está hablando,
Pero no la queremos cuidar
Es momento de evaluar, de solidaridad,
Oración colectiva, y unión familiar.
La tierra nos está hablando,
Pero no la queremos entender.
