🌿 Happy #WorldMangroveDay! 🌿 Mangroves are incredible ecosystems that clean air and water, support diverse species, and embody resilience. We're inspired by our partner, the @Philadelphia Eagles' commitment to sustainability, from achieving LEED Platinum at Lincoln Financial Field to restoring mangroves in Puerto Rico. Their approach shows how sustainability can thrive through community involvement and innovative partnerships. Let's celebrate the power of mangroves and the inspiring work being done to protect our planet! 🌎💚 https://lnkd.in/dhyX8NzZ
