7 Netflix Originals for Earth Day

Earth Day is April 22nd, so it's only a few weeks away! We always seemed to celebrate it in elementary school, but as we grow older we forget to remember our roots on this planet. The natural world is powerful and breathtaking, so we should take the time to educate ourselves on how it's doing.

Netflix has some of the best nature documentaries out there with amazing footage and reliable sources to remind us that Earth is our home and we have to take care of it.
