Earth Day is Coming: Be Turtley Cool, Take Action

Pacifica Beach Coalition's Earth Day of Action event coming on April 21st. Plan now to Take Action, Be Turtley Cool!

I am over the moon with excitement for everything the Pacifica Beach Coalition  has lined up for Earth Day this year and getting it all down on paper is impossible, but I will note a few things.

But first: Are you (and your family, business, or team) ready to take action?

Pacifica will be celebrating Earth Day on Saturday, April 21 with action from 9a.m. to 11:30a.m. and a huge celebration from 11:30a.m. to 3:30p.m.
