The 42nd annual Earth Day takes place on Friday, April 22, 2011. Quite simply, Earth Day is a day to consider your lifestyle and what you can do to better the earth. We know everyone can conserve more and live life using less. But spreading this message is just as important as living by an eco-standard. During the month of April, communities worldwide will host Earth Day celebrations, festivals, expos and gatherings. Whether you plant a tree, purchase carbon offsets or simply learn of ways to reduce, reuse and recycle, take the opportunity to make a green impact! Below are a number of Earth Day events and ways you can make earth-friendly changes in your daily life. For thousands of other Earth Day events, visit earthday.org.
