What is Earth Week Plus?

Earth Week Plus is the Tip of the Mitt Region's celebration of our wonderful Northern Michigan environment and a time to assess the work still needed to protect the natural gifts of our planet.

Earth Week Plus is an extended series of events around Earth Day, the global celebration of the environment and commitment to its protection and stewardship. The history of Earth Day mirrors the growth of environmental awareness over the last four decades. The legacy of Earth Day is the certain knowledge that the environment is a universal concern.

In 1970, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson proposed a bill designating April 22 as a national day to celebrate the earth. Since that time, Earth Day has been officially observed in April and is now observed in 175 countries.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, PLEASE COME CELEBRATE EARTH WEEK!
All Earth Week Plus events are free and open to the public.

We urge all who can afford it, to bring a non-perishable food donation to be distributed to our less fortunate neighbors through local food banks.

Please support our local green sponsors, who have made it possible for us to bring you Earth Week Plus!
