Walk for the Earth

April 22, 2025

Students can take climate action into their own power by walking or wheeling to school to cut down on emissions and traffic near schools, any day.

When they do it this Earth Day and register their steps, they will have a chance to win a Walk for the Earth prize package including a personalized Yeti Jr. Rambler.
