I love the suggestions for making Earth day a family day.

Just wanted to add that everyone should check their local newspapers for family-friendly events and activities in their neck of the woods. I know there are quite a few free or low-cost ones in our area and we plan on spending this Sunday at a celebration at our local farm.
