Last month, inspired by Earth Day, we asked you to send us photos of places, species and lifestyles you want to preserve for future generations. This May, many countries observe Mother's Day and in the United States, Memorial Day, so our Photo of the Month invites you to honor the people in your community whose strength and resilience inspire you.
This Months Theme Is: "Unsung Heroes"
Whether it is the usher who has been serving at your place of worship for years, or your 5-year old nephew volunteering at a community garden, send us a photo of the special people making difference in your community or your life, and we will help you honor them.
They can be a public figure or anyone who worked to improved other people's lives or the planet in some way or another - just be sure to tell us why you want to honor them!
A selected photo will be featured on our next email Newsletter, plus an album of selected entries will be published on our website and Facebook page.
