Today we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Here are some great self-isolation Earth Day activities you can do today (and beyond) to celebrate: https://cnn.it/2VRHDQK Another great self-isolation activity is getting political and advocating for better environmental policies. E-mail your representative and ask for a "green recovery" plan: https://bit.ly/2VsOgKk... "What could a green recovery look like in Canada?
