By - posted 4/22/2017 No Comment

San Francisco (and the whole Bay Area, for that matter) goes all out when it comes to Earth Day, but we love it. That’s why we live here, right?

So if you’re looking for an opportunity to help out with a beach cleanup, get inspired to be more green, March for Science, or if you just like big festivals, then here’s a list of great ways to get your green on.

The biggest event is San Francisco’s Earth Day Festival in Civic Center.
