April 22nd marks Earth Day in the US. This day is about raising awareness of environmental issues and how we can each make changes – both big and small - that will make our world a better place. There are celebrations in communities around the country.
With Earth Day around the corner, I’m still not sure what we will be doing. Maybe we will stay close to home and do something that is simple, like putting up bluebird boxes or maybe the whole family will eat meals for the entire day made with only locally grown produce from our farmers’ market here in Charlottesville.
Of course, we may want to join one of the many celebrations that are taking place over the weekend. Here are a few I found:
“Go Green” Earth Day Festival, Pine Mountain, GA
Peace, Love and Planet Earth - Earth Day & James River Fish Festival, Richmond, VA
Lord Salisbury Celebrates Spring - Earth Day 2009, Salisbury, NC
Earth First Grayson, Independence, VA
Earth Days Celebration at the Virginia Living Museum, Newport News, VA
