Earth Day 2013: What to do Locally

Just because Earth Day is April 22 doesn’t mean it is limited to a single day. Events have been organized in honor of Earth Day throughout the area so people have various opportunities to help Mother Earth if they wish.

Here’s a few things happening in Altadena and nearby. If you know of other Earth Day happenings or ideas to go green, share them in the comments section below or in this Earth Day Patch post here.
