"I Volunteer! Day engages new volunteers, demonstrates how fun and rewarding volunteerism can be, and increases the visibility of local nonprofits. Projects range from Earth Day environmental projects with Boulder County Parks and Open Space and Eco-Cycle to construction with Habitat for Humanity."
Student groups at CU Boulder (Conscious Alliance, CoPIRG, Environmental Center, CUBiodiesel & SEAC) are holding an Earth Day Event called "Save the Planet, Save the People Festival" on Norlin Quad 4/22/08. We have invited local businesses to sell their eco-friendly products, will be having live music, a display of the amount of coal CO2 CU produces in a day, a student art contest to make a poster for the event that will be printed on recycled paper and distributed to students who bring ten cans of food which will be donated to Conscious Alliance (food goes to Indian reservations in South Dakota & Montana), biodiesel wrestling, hula hoop contests (made with sustainable hula hoops) a clothing swap, live music, a spin the wheel Q&A (students answer an environmentally-based question correctly and they can spin the wheel to recieve a prize) and many other things!

In an ongoing effort to raise the profile of Earth Day (April 22),
the third Green Apple Festival will expand this year with eight
simultaneous concerts in city parks across the United States on April
20.
Producers of the 2008 Green Apple Festival, in collaboration
with nonprofit Earth Day Network and presenting sponsor Chase, will set
up free outdoor festivals in New York (Central Park), Washington, D.C.
(the National Mall), Chicago (Lincoln Park Zoo), Miami (Bicentennial
Park), Denver (City Park), Dallas (Fair Park), San Francisco (Golden
Gate Park) and Los Angeles (Santa Monica Pier).
Artist lineups
for each city are still coming together, but Green Apple Festival
founder and executive producer Peter Shapiro says, "We're out there
talking to a wide range" of performers. "We have a couple of acts on
board," he tells Billboard.biz. "There will be big acts at all of the
free eight events."
Each festival site will invite nonprofit
environmentally friendly organizations to promote new technology and
products. "We use the music to get people there in a family-friendly
environment," says Shapiro. "Then they can learn about simple things
they can do to improve their impact on the earth."
In the days
leading up to the event, from April 18-19, about 150 clubs across the
country will become "Green Apple Venues." Organizers plan to introduce
environmentally friendly practices and products to participating
facilities. In addition, the more than 1,000 acts performing will be
encouraged to speak about Earth Day from the stage, according to
Shapiro, who owned the environmentally focused New York venue Wetlands
Preserve. Bands will also be asked to make a donation to an
environmentally oriented charity.
Last year's Green Apple
Festival—billed as the largest carbon-neutral event of its kind—was
held in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. The festival featured such
artists as Bob Weir & Ratdog, the Decemberists, Taylor Hicks,
Stephen Marley and the Kaiser Chiefs, among many others.�
