Earth Day is being celebrated on April 22nd, 2015 and is a wonderful way for people to gain knowledge about our planet along with finding out ways to help as much as they can. How will you be honoring the holiday? 
 
Some like to celebrate Earth Day at home by planting a tree or starting their Springtime garden, while others enjoy going out and getting hands on! The holiday is a great opportunity for children to learn about their environment as well, and these great events coming up all month long will allow them to do so while still having fun! So take a look at the Long Island Earth Day events coming up this month and see which ones you’ll be attending, all in support of the planet we call home!
