Now I know these events are in the Twin Cities, but your community has Earth Day events planned too. Search the web for free Earth Day activities to find out what is going on in your area. And remember if there are no activities, you can plant a tree or pick up trash anywhere to help out. My family and a few other families are picking up trash on Tuesday to do our part. (Target has kids garden gloves in their $1.00 section right now to pick up trash with)
