Get your recyclables ready. Sunday is Earth Day.
It’s a day meant to raise awareness about environmental issues.
According to a recent Harris Poll, fewer people now say they’re concerned about the future of the planet.
34% of those surveyed in 2012 were concerned, down 9% from the number concerned in 2009.
Those surveyed were also less likely reuse things instead of throwing them away or buying new items.
