How do you plan on celebrating Earth Day this year?

Do you know how technology is helping planners create more sustainable communities? Do you know how you can help protect endangered wildlife? Do you know how organizations throughout the region are studying how to prevent flooding and improve the water that you use every day?

EarthFest is an outdoor educational celebration of Earth Day where the answers to so many questions about the environment, sustainability, healthy lifestyles, and protecting and preserving the planet are just an exploration away!
