“Across the state we’ll have about 100 events, and it’s just a good way to give back and join their local community on Earth Day or in honor of Earth Day,” said SOLVE CEO Kris Carico. So we’re really encouraging all families to come out, do their part, and take care of this beautiful state that we all love.”
