Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of an exciting environmental movement that began in 1970. The day helps Americans remember to recycle, reuse, and reduce items they use every day.
Like separating trash between landfill and recyclable. Reusing those grocery bags to line trashcans. Reducing fuel use by cutting down on short driving trips. These are just a few things we can do. There are many other ways to learn to help our environment and keep our earth healthy.
In the Phoenix area, there are a number of Earth Day events planned to teach us about caring for our environment. Check out a few of them below. Click on each heading for details.
