Forty years after the first Earth Day, the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants remain in jeopardy. Though much progress has been made, we remain faced with daily, often insurmountable, challenges. We are also presented great opportunities though as consumers that can and do make a difference.

One of the first steps we can all take to help Mother Earth is to become more knowing.
I invite you to take the Green Crossword Challenge in honor of the 40th Earth Day. You never know what you may discover!
