Earth Day Events

I've put together a list of events, and places to find events, that are happening on or around Earth Day throughout Chicagoland and the U.S. Feel free to add events in the comments section.

In the picture is Boise Thomas, co host of Alter Eco, and Ziggy Marley at the Green Apple Music Fest at Santa Monica Pier where we opened our business for Earth Day in 2008. If you look closely you can see Boise wearing I AM GREEN. I took this picture. I don't know if Ziggy ever wore his I AM GREEN. I don't think he will call to let me know.
