April 22: Celebrate Earth Day!
This year marks the 40th anniversary of a day symbolizing the start of an environmental movement that we call the green revolution today. An earlier generation dared to speak up for change and paved the green path for us under the leadership of Senator Gaylord Nelson (WI), founder of Earth Day. This generation included my own father who founded the United New Conservationists in Berkeley in the late 60’s, a coalition of Bay area environmental groups who together push for passage of the first Earth Day. (Go Dad!) 
Let’s resurrect that energy and make this year the biggest ever!
Participate in a “Billion Acts of Green” or check out the Earth Day Network site for a schedule of events near you. (Including:
 Green Service Days April 16&17 and celebrations/rallies on the Mall on April 22).
