We all have a role to play to protect this blue marble of ours. Some take that responsibility more seriously than others. Here we highlight a handful of those folks, from volunteer trail workers to park stewards to environmental policy über-wonks, recognizing there are plenty more out there quietly fighting the good fight. This Earth Day, take inspiration from their energy and grit and think about how you too can lend a hand. Because there’s a lot to celebrate, and a lot more to be done.
