Going Green: Global World Turtle Day

  Turtle and tortoise lovers around the globe are gathering together to “shellebrate” the most important day of the year – what else? World Turtle Day®!

 

American Tortoise Rescue (ATR), an international nonprofit organization established in 1990 for the protection of turtles and tortoises, holds this annual event every year on May 23. I founded this special observance with my husband 23 years ago to honor one of the world’s oldest creatures. This year’s theme is simple and encompasses millions of turtle fans around the globe – “I Love Turtles!”

 

ATR created and launched WorldTurtleDay.org to increase respect for and knowledge about one of the world’s oldest creatures. Turtle lovers show their appreciation of the special day by taking “shellfies”, holding events and shares photos and stories on social media. Join the party at home or at work. ATR created a World Turtle Day Party Pack that can be accessed for free here http://bit.ly/1YwebJRDownload World Turtle Day coloring pages for the kids!
