I am the Earth And the Earth is me. Each blade of grass, Each honey tree, Each bit of mud, And stick and stone Is blood and muscle, Skin and bone.
And just as I Need every bit Of me to make My body fit, So Earth needs Grass and stone and tree And things that grow here Naturally. That’s why we Celebrate this day. That’s why across The world we say: As long as life, As dear, as free, I am the Earth And the Earth is me. Earth Day by Jane Yolen

On Saturday March 1, only the bravest of the brave plunged into freezing cold 39 degree Lake Tahoe to vie for the first place spot in the annual Polar Bear Swim. A grueling 250 meters later it appeared as though the race that mattered most to the swimmers was the one that landed them in the 104 degree hot tubs. Congratulations to all of those who participated! Visit our Facebook page to view the full album of photos. See you next year, polar bears!
