April 22nd is Earth Day - What's Your Pledge?

























Earth Day - "A Billion Acts of Green"

As my brother says "every day is earth day" - so true, however the awareness events and activities that Earth Day celebrations bring can inspire and motivate the average Joe, like my bro to reduce, reuse, recycle, upscale, downsize, etc. You CAN make a difference and earth day events in your area will show you how.  My earth day pledge is to raise awareness about Earth Day!

What can you do? Volunteer at an event, bring the family to a local farmer's market, or simply ride your bike to work for a week. Every little bit helps.

Below is a brief list of Earth Day events and activities (primarily in California). I will update the list as time allows.  Or you can find an event in your area by visiting the official Earth Day Website.
