Earth Day is credited with becoming a national event because of an oil spill that happened off the coast of Santa Barbara. Decades have past and the movement have picked up momentum. Nearly every city in California has programs throughout the year and goals to reduce waste. But on one special month (April) Earth Day activities are hosted in cities throughout the state as a way to celebrate, contribute and be aware that our planet is worth taking care of. Here are some Earth Day and Eco-related events happening throughout California.
