Every year on April 22, the Green Group Studio team hits the pavement in order to give back to the community in celebration of Earth Day. From adopting injured sea turtles to renovating playgrounds at the Milagro Center, our commitment to living green goes far beyond the workplace. This year in preparation for Earth Day (and Allen Borza’s much anticipated birthday), we are bringing you a 22 facts countdown that will remind you why April 22 is so important, including factoids on how our actions impact the planet, and how you can make a difference.

Close to a billion people across the earth live without access to clean, safe drinking water and sanitation, which many people consider to be a global health threat. To learn how you can make a difference, see our Water Day 2014 blog post featuring three organizations that provide you with fun and easy ways to help lessen this staggering number.
