There is plenty to see, do and be a part of to celebrate Earth Day this weekend, in and around Boston, and all over Massachusetts! The options are endless, but I’ve included a few family friendly events here.

Earth Day was first celebrated back in 1970. Senator Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day “as a way to force this issue onto the national agenda.” (epa.gov). After nearly 20 million Americans demonstrated in cities all over the United States, government listened. And in December 1970, Congress authorize a new federal agency to tackle all issues environmental.

• Celebrate the Earth in Your Town

  The best way to celebrate Earth Day this weekend is to embrace the beauty around us! While you are out hiking, biking, running and walking, pick up any trash you see along the way. So, don’t forget your backpack, and be sure to line it with a trash bag.
