Nothing Says "Guilt" Like "Earth Day"

Since you've already figured out your plans for tomorrow night, what about during the day? It is Earth Day tomorrow and everyone is displacing their guilt celebrating by participating in cleanups and events around the bay. Upcoming and Going listed some of the Earth Day events and we're helpfully listing them here in hopes that we'll encourage you to get off your couch and do something useful.

Cleanup Events:

• Ocean Beach
• Mount Tamalpais
• Angel Island
• Contra Loma Regional Park

• Earth Day on the Bay 2008, Marine Science Institute
• John Muir Earth Day Festival, Home of John Muir
• Berkeley Earth Day, Berkeley Civic Center Park

The Gate has the complete list of Earth Day events here.

Forget about the fact that you bought an SUV and love it; go celebrate the earth and attend a clean-up or festival. Just remember: you don't have to join the hippie drum circle and sing "Kumbaya" if you don't want to.
