Here’s a great way to celebrate the 50th Annual Earth Day, All Week Long!
First officially recognized on April 22, 1970, Earth Day was created as a way to demonstrate support for a healthy environment and is now celebrated around the world in more than 193 countries.
Help the City of Spokane commemorate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day by building your sustainable knowledge with activities that can be practiced every day. From composting to conserving water, join one or all five virtual presentations during the week starting Monday, April 20.
