Happy Earth Day, everyone!

I am constantly in awe of the beauty and majesty of this planet, and constantly try to be sustainable and make conscious choices in both small and big ways when I can. Today is a great day to take extra time admiring all our home planet has done for us!

In honor of today, I’ve picked a few of my favorite quotes about our Earth that really touch me! I hope you enjoy!
