Earth Day is April 22 Earth Day is a global movement dedicated to environmental protection and sustainability. This year’s theme, "Our Power, Our Planet," emphasizes the collective responsibility we all share in transitioning to renewable energy sources and creating a sustainable future. Harness the power of knowledge with books for children, teens and adults found here. Students in TK-Grade 12 are invited to take part in Santa Clara County Parks Youth Art Contest. Participants can illustrate how you would use solar energy to power our Santa Clara County Parks or illustrate what Earth Day means to you. Let your child's imagination run free as they express themselves with colors, style and creativity, and most of all, have FUN. Learn more here. |
