April 22, 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. This year, the City of Albany is partnering with The Watershed Project to bring Earth Day and Earth Week celebrations online, so that we can celebrate our planet safely.  

Although we are celebrating under different circumstances this year, Earth Day 2020 is still a day for celebration, reflection, and action. The County Shelter-In-Place Order has caused many of us to change our daily lifestyles and spend more time indoors in recent weeks. While this presents many challenges, it also provides opportunity to reflect, change, and commit to long-lasting habits. It is an opportunity to think about how we can connect and care for one another, care for our planet, and create a brighter future for us all once COVID-19 passes. Doing our part now to stay inside to protect ourselves and our community at large means we can learn how to move forward toward a healthy future – for us and for the planet. 

Thank you for joining us in celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Please continue to check this page for additional resources and online activities. Also, keep an eye out for a Special Edition eNews on Earth Day (sign up for eNews here).
