Since 1970, Americans have recognized Earth Day on April 22 to celebrate the planet and raise awareness about environmental initiatives, green practices and community. In 1990, Earth Day went global, mobilizing countries around the world and paving the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit. In Atlanta, Earth Day is more like Earth Month, with events cropping up many April weekends. Here’s a selection:
