Pull out your digital cameras (or cell phone cameras)! Let's have some fun this Earth Day!
Do it by yourself, or grab a buddy- take pictures of yourselves doing as many of the following tasks as possible.
You can break them up, or try to do them together.
You have from this very moment until 7pm on Tuesday to complete these tasks.
*I will be participating in this hunt with a group of my dearest friends. Please form your own group and let me know how it goes! Email me pictures and stories and I would love to share them! Good luck!
