Earth Day is an international event designed to raise awareness and concern for the environment. Started April 22
nd in 1970, it is one of the largest grassroots movements in U.S. history. C. Crane is fortunate to be based in
Fortuna, CA, which is surrounded by state and federally protected areas such as the
Headwaters Forest, Pacific Ocean Coastlines, the Eel River and so many more. With so much abundant beauty it’s no surprise that people here feel strongly about conservation.
Many people in our area and elsewhere faithfully practice sustainability as a way of life. Where every day is Earth Day, so they are constantly looking for ways to reduce dependency on outside resources, and minimize waste. What used to be considered “hippie” counterculture has now worked its way into mainstream
The best thing about Earth Day is that everyone can participate. Take one of our
pocket radios along if you are helping with a community project. The
CC Solar Observer is a great outdoor radio for listening while you garden to grow food, raise chickens, or work your own sustainability program. Even something as simple as using
rechargeable batteries with our
Solar Battery Charger can help the environment since they use
far less natural resources than disposable batteries.
We’re curious – are you a conservationist, and if so, how?
