April 19, 2021 (San Diego) -- The celebration is virtual, but the fun is real — San Diego County’s Virtual Earth Day Fair is back. Visit the County’s Land Use and Environment Group’s Earth Day webpage, which is filled with fun and education for kids and parents alike.

You can also go on an Earth Day scavenger hunt, take part in a citizen scientist contest, visit Stonehenge, learn how to protect our planet and become a better Earthling, learn how to Recycle Right, what we can all do to keep pollution out of our air and water and how to properly plant a tree.

In addition, you can sign up for virtual events to learn about composting and make your garden grow better, what “organic” means, and how to grow a salsa garden.

 

There are word games, backyard mysteries to solve scientifically, Earth Day art to print out and color, and fun projects to design and build.

 

Listen to what Earth Day means to each of our County supervisors and learn how the County is updating its Climate Action Plan.

 

In short, you can learn more about our wonderful planet, how to protect it and have fun doing it by celebrating Earth Day 2021 virtually with the County of San Diego.
