Two friends taking in the thawing of Powderhorn Park.
"Every day is Earth Day" Yesterday, today, and tomorrow we honor the Earth. Our reverence for home at times lays dormant, obscured, quieted. Reawakening a bond with the planet and reacquainting with what it really means to be a terrestrial is made manifest in many ways, from decades of math to take humans to Mars to a half-hour's worth of trash pickup to take to the proper receptacle. Make manifest your deference to Earth, however you may.
