Earth day in a pandemic Moment of silence for people impacted by the pandemic. We hope you and your communities are staying healthy and hopeful. We will move through this pandemic eventually and there will be a new normal. One thing we know is that the issue of global climate change will continue as one of the most pressing issues of our time and we all have a role to play. 3
