3 r'sEarth Day is a special day for our Earth!! Earth Day was born on April 22, 1970, in San Francisco, California. Earth Day is celebrated worldwide.  On Earth Day, we remember to appreciate nature and learn ways to protect our environment.
Here are a few tips:

  1. Water- Do not allow the water to run while brushing your teeth
  2. Air- Ask your family to walk or ride bikes to get to local shops.
  3. Recycle- Every day, place your paper, plastics, and aluminum in recycling bins.
  4. Energy- Unplug electronics when you are not using and use energy efficient light bulbs.
  5. Reuse- Upcycle, take something that is disposable and transform it into something of greater use and value.

If you have any cool tips, send them in to tide@xeko.com, we will share with everyone at Xeko!

Everyone has a chance to click the egg as long as it’s visible, but be quick because it won’t hang around for long. Once the egg has disappeared, be patient while a different egg appears in a different location. Keep your eyes open, the most dedicated hunters will collect them all, including one extremely rare egg that also gives coins! (The eggs will not be same as last year’s hunt.)

Trade: You can either collect all of the eggs or you can find a host to trade your eggs for a prize.  For every 5 eggs you trade into a Host, you can get spring lights as a prize. And if you’re a member, you can choose between a spring lights and a member only spring mural for every 5 eggs you trade.  Trades will begin on Sunday, and you have until Tuesday to trade with a Host. (The eggs for trading will have to be from this years hunt.)

There will also be Host games and a new prize throughout the weekend. Enjoy!

Please do not use the M button to request the location of the eggs. Players must walk directly to the egg in order to receive the egg in their mystuff.
