Over the last three years, we've shared over 2,000 stories about people doing incredible things around the globe. We know there's more to be done once a video reaches its end, so we're doing our part to ensure we give back to the planet.
All month long we've been celebrating our Great Big Planet. Now, we're proud to go green with more stories about the amazing people protecting the environment. For Earth Day, we've shut down our office so we can volunteer as a community. We hope you take a moment today to appreciate and give back to this beautiful planet we call home.
