Earth Day is around the corner, April 22nd, and we are marking it with a critical webinar on extreme heat. "Heating Up: Special Earth Day Webinar" is scheduled for April 22nd from 7:30-8:30 PM EST/4:30-5:30 PM PST. The webinar will cover what to expect this summer across North America, how to protect yourself and those around you, and what your rights are at work.
We have some great answers from our Family Day contest winners:

- What makes your family unique?
As a single, childless adult, my family is unique because it’s just me! I have had to learn how to make family traditions and meals all by myself, for myself. It’s tough some days but this experiences has really taught me to love myself and protect my family traditions by continuing them on so they’re never forgotten. I often get overlooked when it comes to a family definition but I am fiercely proud of the home and life I have carved for myself.

- What is the one meal that brings everyone to the table, every time?
The best meal that brings everyone to table is my mom's homemade pickled pig's feet. It's a treat for us at Christmas and Easter. Her homemade buns are good too!!
