Earth Day
Every Day
A good planet is hard to find! Join us in exploring ways to celebrate, protect and conserve our planet. Join the Fight, Do What’s Right. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
Waste NOT!
Be inspired by this unique artist program that supports artists that turn discarded items into diverse and significant work.
What items do you have in your home that can be repurposed into art?
The Artist in Residence Program at Recology San Francisco is a unique art and education program that provides artists with access to discarded materials, a stipend, and a large studio space. By supporting artists who work with reused materials, Recology hopes to encourage people to conserve natural resources and promote new ways of thinking about art and the environment.

Since 1970, Earth Day has been an annual event held on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Whole heartedly embracing "Earth Day Every Day," we've assembled a great assortment of projects that focus on the environmental issues and tap into your creative problem-solving juices.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors. We borrow it from our children.
