Earth Day is April 22, 2008!


April 22 is Earth Day!

It's a day both of celebration of what we've accomplished and a reminder of the challenges still ahead. To learn what CAW is doing this year, check out our legislative page. Also, consider a donation to CAW to help us continue our fights as we look towards expanding California's e-waste policy and reduce the proliferation of plastic litter and waste in our environment.

Below are just a few of the events and activities going on in California during the month of April around Earth Day. Keep coming back as this page is updated with more information. Hopefully you can find something you can be a part of! And remember, Earth Day should be every day!
