April 21st is Earth Day. While we are focused on our own health at safety at this time, it is good to keep an eye on news and reports about the environment, and how the earth is healing itself, without the intervention of humans. Animals have been seen roaming towns, waterways and parks where they previously survived, unnoticed. The quality of air has improved with the reduction of pollution, and noise pollution has been greatly reduced with the lack of cars and daily street life occurring around us. Take time to research what is happening in the world - google also has a cool interactive educational game all about BEES! You can play and learn at the same time! Stay safe and maintain good hygiene.

Dr. Jane Goodall shares her thoughts in this time of hardship, sharing hope, information and an update about her life, at home in the UK. Please stay safe, everyone!
