Pennsylvania's Environment Desktop

To help celebrate the beauty and diversity of Pennsylvania’s environment, PA Environment Digest is pleased to provide you with this gift.

Taken from the four corners of Pennsylvania, this collage of photographs represents just a peek into the beauty of our state, restoration efforts underway and the new green technologies that are part of Pennsylvania’s Environment today.

Use the photo for the wallpaper on your computer as a daily reminder of what’s good about Pennsylvania’s environment and how we’ve taken positive steps to restore and protect it.

For a copy, just Click Here to download and either right click on the photo and select "Set as Background" or save the photo to your computer and use the Control Panel to set it as your Desktop.

(And just for fun, send your guesses on where each photo was taken to: DHess@crisciassociates.com . The answers will be in a future Digest.)
