Join Annapolis Green to learn VIRTUALLY about about driving electric — one of the best things you can do to mitigate the effects of Climate Change. The EV Earth Day Showcase was to have been presented by Annapolis Green during the Severna Park Earth Day Festival and as part of the national Drive Electric Earth Day event but we’re going virtual instead.

The theme for Earth Day 2020 is climate action. The enormous challenge — but also the vast opportunities — of action on climate change have distinguished the issue as the most pressing topic for the 50th anniversary.
Climate change represents the biggest challenge to the future of humanity and the life-support systems that make our world habitable.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and its related closures and distancing guidelines, the on-site Earth Day Festival was canceled. However, organizers welcome you to be part of their first virtual Earth Day Festival.
The theme for this year’s Festival, established a year ago, has greater meaning now more than ever: 20/20 A Vision for a Healthier World.
We can’t be together for the actual Festival, but we are still connected to the Earth, and caring for ourselves and each other to benefit our community! Enjoy and thank you! Happy Earth Day – every day – and we certainly extend the greatest hopes for a healthier world!
Throughout the month of April, the City of Annapolis has been celebrating Earth Month with daily pledges that residents can take to help improve the planet. These virtual pledges and ideas for simple, stay-at-home earth-friendly practices are things that Annapolitans can incorporate into daily life.
These daily pledges include a pledge on April 22, 2020, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.
The pledges have been broken into four categories:
Water (example: clean up after your pet, conserve water in the garden)
Air (example: walk, bike or use transit, switch to LED bulbs)
Habitat (example: grow oysters, use natural cleaning products, create a pollinator garden)
Earth (example: opt for paperless billing, plant a tree, create a meal plan to reduce food waste)
Unnatural Causes celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day with a show about climate change and biodiversity. The group exhibition is curated by and features work by Four Alarm Artists, a collective group founded by Blake Conroy, Bridget Parlato and Lynne Parks. It is part of a series of exhibitions and speaking events about environmental issues – cultivated by Four Alarm Artists– throughout the region.
