Happy Earth Day!

Did you know? According to Earthday.org, the first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the landmark Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other groundbreaking environmental laws soon followed. Growing out of the first Earth Day, Earth Day Network (EDN) works with over 22,000 partners in 192 countries to broaden, diversify, and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world.

In celebration of Earth Day, the Lierac team is making extra "green" efforts today. (Not that we don't always!)

Our Earth Day plan includes the following:

- For those of us who drive, we're taking the train or bus into work (or carpooling with a friend or neighbor).
- Our lunch is freshly packed in a tupperware container (no cellophane, or plastic bags).
- We're shutting off our bright lights in the office and using minimal power. Also making sure they're off when we leave the room.
- Recycle!

- We're using eco-friendly cleaning products.

These changes are so small, but make such a big difference, and we remind ourselves every day how important it is to remember to respect the environment in every way we can. If it's hard for you to remember some of these things regularly, then what better day than Earth Day to start?

We're also lucky to be reminded daily of the green efforts that Lierac makes - many of our products come in recyclable containers, and we also create formulas that are environmentally safe and friendly.

So if you're a Lierac fan, you're already off to a good start.

We invite you to take action today. Learn more at www.earthday.org

And tell us, how are you celebrating?
