Eugene 4J Celebrates
Earth Day
"Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond."
-Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
