#143: Beautiful World, There You Are
Today (April 22nd) is Earth Day, and since itâs far too easy to doomscroll our way through discussions about the climate crisis, I thought we could also find more positive ways to show our appreciation for this planet. This weekâs prompts are inspired by the beautiful world we live in, and the ways we can reconnect with it.
