For 55 years, Earth Day has brought Minnesotans together to celebrate and support our state’s environment. Today, you can celebrate Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes, vast prairies, and wonderful wildlife by supporting the #EarthDayCollaborative: ten organizations providing solutions to the environmental issues facing our state today.    These organizations have come together to create the One Day, One Earth, One Minnesota fund and raise $250,000 to protect Minnesota’s air, water, land, and people. At a time when our environment faces urgent threats from climate change, habitat loss, polluted water, and environmental injustices, and less than 5% of U.S. philanthropic funding supports climate and nature, you can help ensure that Minnesota’s environment continues to flourish for generations to come. Will you support their work with your most generous gift today? Make a gift: https://lnkd.in/geXweT88 Learn more about the collaborative: https://lnkd.in/gtmezwXw #sponsored
