April 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day! To celebrate, Ramsey County,
Washington County and Ramsey/Washington Recycling & Energy partnered to develop the Earth Day Action Quest! Everything is a little different right now, and the way we celebrate Earth Day is no exception! You can reduce, reuse, and recycle from home, and explore nature right in your own neighborhood!
Complete the Earth Day Action Quest challenges with your family to leave the Earth a better place for future generations, pick up some thrifty habits, and enjoy the spring weather. As you complete the challenges, share photos on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #ActionQuest2020. Stay safe, follow social distancing guidelines, and happy trails!
