While there may be only one official Earth Day — April 22 — the planet welcome efforts on its behalf any time. We’ve compiled a list of activities planned as of press time; more may be added, and you can create your own. Just invite friends, family, and social media followers to your favorite beach or coastal area. Bring supplies of work gloves and eco-friendly trash bags.
