A day for songs heard from passing cars, markets, radios, festivals, windows, workplaces, and family gatherings.

A day for umbrellas, towels by the door, backup shoes, covered stalls, and the local wisdom of wet weather.
A day for traffic, weather, jokes, songs, news, and the voices that keep people company while the day begins.
You find Switzerland's distinctive Alpine ibex, chamois, and marmots inhabiting the mountain regions and valleys. You observe that Swiss families predominantly keep dogs, cats, and guinea pigs as their most common domestic animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
