That's a Wrap for Earth Month

For our office, one of the busiest times of the year is April. After all, Earth Month is the time when many are coming together to spread the word about conservation, climate change, and protecting our environment. In Central Texas, the weather in April can be a bit of a toss-up between absolutely gorgeous or a stormy mess, and this year was no different. Heavy rains and wind resulted in several events being moved or rescheduled earlier in the month. Nevertheless, we were out-and-about, talking to Austinites all over town about what our office does, why it’s important, and how they can get involved. Here’s where we were:
