Happy Earth Day!

First held more than fifty years ago on April 22, 1970, Earth Day is described as an “annual celebration honouring the achievements of the environmental movement and raising awareness of the importance of long-term ecological sustainability” by Encyclopaedia Britannica.

The Blue & Gold is celebrating the occasion with a series of articles concerning Earth Day and related environmental topics. We will be updating this page throughout Earth Day with our newest pieces:
