April 22 is Earth Day. First Celebrated in 1970, Earth Day was conceived as a way to raise awareness of all sorts of environmental issues including pollution, land conservation, and recycling.  Countries all over the world participate in events marking Earth Day.  If your organization is interested in planning or participating in an Earth Day event, contact Livingston County Solid Waste Program, 517-545-9609 or solidwaste@co.livingston.mi.us.  Click on EARTH DAY PROJECT IDEAS for examples of Earth Day projects and for projects planned in Livingston County.
