Earth Day Extravaganza

Ok, so I missed a day. So sorry. But today, I'm going to make up for it with many listings of Earth Day events going on this weekend!

First off, KFOG has a nice listing of a bunch of stuff here.
And another listing on Greenopia too.
Stuff going on at the Zoo, basically in every park around the bay area, and lots of family friendly stuff too.

A couple things that stand out to me:

Penguins in the Park- a showing of Happy Feet along with other earth friendly activities and exhibits. I just recently watched Happy Feet and was surprised at how loaded it was with "save the earth, save the penguins" messages. I thought it was just a silly cartoon about singing and dancing penguins. Since saving Antarctica is one of my pet projects, I encourage everyone to see this movie, adults and kids alike!
Details:
Dolores Park is a perfect place for a picnic, which is why the setting will be all the more delightful when families gather there with their picnic dinners and blankets to watch a screening of the animated film “Happy Feet” in celebration of Earth Day. Other activities will include a light bulb exchange, a “Happy Feet” dance lesson, a community art project, and displays and exhibits by local green vendors.
When: April 21, 4 to 10 PM
Where: Dolores Park, San Francisco

Green Apple Music and Arts Festival - in Golden Gate Park - good bands, could be a blast if it's not raining on Sunday!

Visit one of my favorite places in SF, the Center for the Book for their Earth Day Extravaganza where you can make letterpress prints, bind an earth day journal using leaves and natural materials and make earthy beautiful postcards to send to you elected officials. Mon April 23 1-5pm.

For a schwanky shindig on Monday the 23rd, support the Friends of the Urban Forest at Arcadia 2007, a silent auction of art about trees, food, drink, muisic and more. Kind of pricey at $125 a pop, but you'd be helping save the urban trees!

Spring cleaning - get rid of all those electronics you've replaced and dispose of them properly at the Green Citizen Electronics Recycling Center near you.

And if you must travel further afield this summer, make sure to purchase your carbon offsets so that you can ease your green conscience as you fly across the globe. Daily Candy Travel had a great summary of all these options this week.
