READ

Rachel Carson's seminal book about the the effect of pesticides on the environment, Silent Spring, was published in 1962, but it is just as relevant and important today. Carson is particularly appreciated here in Pittsburgh -- she grew up just up the Allegheny River in Springdale, PA.

WATCH

Take three minutes to watch Earth Day 1970-2019: No Time To Waste. It's eye opening information.

PLAN

The next Sustainable Pittsburgh Challenge starts in January 2020, but why wait? Your organization can start gearing up in October of this year. Challenge your team.
