Sponsored by the Northeast Earth Coaltion
The Northeast Earth Coalition (NEEC) invites you to join its 2021 Earth Day Celebration from April 17-24, 2021, for a week of events on the theme of restoring our planet. This year’s celebration will be a combination of virtual events and small gatherings due to the COVID crisis.
Participants can join from anywhere in New Jersey, the country – or the world! You can meet virtually with regional community leaders and groups that will be sharing their environmental projects, such as local food and community gardens, eco-friendly gardening, sustainable communities, alternative transportation, renewable energy, clean air and water, and climate change activism.
Join the NEEC to Celebrate!
