Apr 22nd The 50th Anniversary of Earth Day ...
went by with minor fanfare (obvious reason). The US Post office issued these stamps for the first Earth Day in 1970. Their 2020 offering is in the “Photos 2020”. Leaves something to be desired.
This past week, several volunteers/groups conducted their own pickups around the city of Pensacola/Navarre - 505 lbs
One day before Earth Day....
you would think there would be next to no trash along are beaches with them closed.
Not to say anything about finding plastic gloves/masks along Scenic Hwy yesterday. We can’t say its tourists that litter when finding gloves in store parking lots
