Earth Day is April 22, 2010

April 22 is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, and this is EPA’s 40th anniversary year, so we’ve planned a very special month!  Start by checking out our newly redesigned Earth Day web site.  Lots of cool things you can do to participate in and celebrate Earth Day – http://www.epa.gov/earthday.  Go ahead – get involved:  commit, take action, share!

NOTE:  We are sending April’s special edition of Go Green! to all our mailing lists.  This is a one-time only send, and does not mean you will receive this every month.  To receive the Go Green! newsletter monthly, we welcome you to sign up at: http://www.epa.gov/gogreen
