It’s a day just for the earth and most of the activities are family friendly!
One of the biggest and most entertaining activities is the Earth Day Kids Fest at Chattahoochee Nature Center on April 17 from 10-3. They’ll have live animals there, loads of activities and games, canoe trips on the lake, gardening exhibitions and meet Captain Planet. This event is sponsored by Captain Planet Foundation and Chattahoochee Nature Center, you can find all the details at www.captainplanetfoundation.org.
There are loads of recycling events also around town in Decatur, Oakhurst, Atlantic Station and Buckhead. Atlanta Intown has a nice list of them here.
