April is full of eco-friendly days promoting the preservation of Earth and its many inhabitants. Here are just a few of those days: National Dolphin Day (April 14), Save the Elephant Day (April 16), Audubon Day (April 26), and Arbor Day (April 30) - and of course, April is also home to Earth Day (April 22). With such events as National Find a Rainbow Day (April 3), World Health Day (April 7), and National Sense of Smell Day (April 24), April is also a great month to focus on science, medicine, and being healthy.
