On April 22, Ebetween actually knocking someone’s lights out and just saying you feel like you want to.

Society has come a long way to make our planet a better place to live in and 39 years later, Earth Day is still a huge event. 2 Blast some music and head bang or gyrate that stress right out. Eventhough Earth Day has passed, there are many ways to contribute towards the environment, and people do not have to travel far. These items are eco friendly and definitely can be used in every day lives. 3 Exercise helps a lot of people. Try jogging, yoga, kick boxing, or weight lifting.

The rubber makes the bottle smell and its not good. 8 Take a mini vacation.
