These days are hard for everyone, and it’s easy to feel helpless. But what if we reconnect with nature and help our rivers instead? Spring has officially sprung and, if you’re spending time outside, you’ve surely noticed that litter has too! This April, during Earth Month, we’re hoping you’ll consider taking a bag or bucket and some gloves along on your next trip around the block to help pick up trash. It’s easy. It feels good. It’s safe. But more importantly, it makes a difference.
Our team shared some of their favorite water themed films and documentaries (and where you can find them). This list is so eclectic, there’s definitely something for everyone. Start a Netflix Party or Facebook Watch with your friends, or enjoy a cozy date night in with one of these aquatic features!
