Protecting Guam’s Environment is My Nature
The word “nature” is our theme for Guahan Earth Day 2012. Nature is our character. Nature is our attitude. Nature is also the external world including all aspects of the environment. During Earth Day, we will strive to protect all forms of nature, internal and external.
There are many ways to get involved with Earth Day 2012. Explore the options or come up with a project you are interested in doing as part of the effort. If we each take a small step to becoming more sustainable, it will be one large step forward for the environment.
Find many Guam Earth Day activities on our Events page and and exhaustive list on the Guam EPA website.
