Is Earth Day recognized by your employer? Are there any actions that staff typically take to mark the day (or week, month, etc)?

I am lucky to have a client that occasionally shares opportunities to participate in trash cleanups. These are commonly held during the spring and fall. 

Below is a link to a recent cleanup I got to participate in. I'd love to hear about additional ideas or opportunities that others have been involved in.

Hi Christopher,

Yes it is recognized, my employer represents a few municipal clients so there is always an opportunity to join their Earth Day trash pick up and stream sweeps.

A month ago I noticed that the area behind the company parking lot was starting to accumulate debris and other roadside trash, so I simply asked the owner if I was able to organize a trash pick up, which I was given the green light to pick up trash around the office. So at work last Friday 4/25/25 from 4 - 5 pm, on a purely volunteer basis, we picked up trash around the office and in our backyard stream <3 Campbells Run <3. While it wasn't a massive effort, I am proud of my effort and impact.

Warm Regards,

Noel
