FAKE NEWS BY SHELLEY | FACT-CHECKING THE FACT-CHECKERS
Remember April is Fool’s Month, and we mustn’t take ourselves too seriously. As well, Earth Day is intended to bring attention to the importance of protecting our environment, treating Earth respectfully and demonstrating the courage of our convictions.
I hope this brings a chuckle to your day. And I would love to hear back from our readers. Tell us if your fact-checkers recognize the truth of these photos.
