Earth Day should be every day in Toronto, but with increased stress on our highways and roads, the air quality seems to get worse every year. Sunday is the official Earth Day and with Kyoto legislation and pending election, it just might be the most important one yet.

The forecast for tomorrow calls for sunny skies and a high of 23, so get outside and celebrate what your Mama Earth gave you. Here are some Earth Day highlights:
