Fort Collins Has Big Plans For Earth Day This Week

I am not a tree-hugger, but I recycle.   I like flowers and trees and I am pretty fond of our planet. Sunday, April 22nd is the day we celebrate that planet. It's Earth Day!  The City of Fort Collins is involved in a number of events this week to celebrate Earth Day:
