By Eileen Ogintz Verified| ArcaMax@ Ready to do your part? Earth Day is coming up soon (April 22) and the theme this year is “Our Power, Your Planet” with a focus on the need for #renewableenergynow. The idea is to work toward the goal of tripling the global generation of clean electricity by 2030. If you are wondering, renewable energy is from sources like the sun that don’t produce greenhouse gases and thus don’t drive climate change. The aim is to end our reliance on fossil fuels and the damage they do.
