Earth Day is on Saturday, April 21, with many events in Alameda County happening throughout the month of April. Join your neighbors in celebrating our area's natural beauty and helping keep our creeks, shores and the Bay healthy!
ALWAYS USE THE TRASH CAN—NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.
Our Clean Water mascots encounter bottle caps, six-pack rings, bags and other litter dangers every day in Alameda County. Egrets, herons, red-legged frogs, turtles, seagulls, trout, stilts... all birds, fish and amphibians are at risk.
Happy Earth Day! Celebrate our creeks, waterways and the Bay by volunteering or attending one of many Earth Day events in the county.
The annual volunteer event is the largest in the state. In 2014, nearly 67,000 participants removed more than 1,190,000 pounds of trash and recyclables from California's beaches, lakes, and waterways.
