This year, Earth Day doesn’t have to be just one day.

Clean Fairfax Earth Month+ 2024: Planet vs. Plastics

Welcome to Earth Month+ 2024, the hub for all the events and resources we’re sharing this Earth Month!

Earth Day 2024 Theme: Planet vs. Plastics

Earthday.org has declared this year’s theme “Planet vs. Plastics.” From single use plastic bags to disposable water bottles to fast fashion and everything in between, the Earthday.org campaign seeks a 60% reduction in global plastic production by 2040. Join the campaign!

Here in Northern Virginia, Clean Fairfax is hosting two of our own events: Birds & Beers on March 24th, and our annual Earth Daze celebration on April 28th. We’re also supporting cleanups and community events across Fairfax County. Check out the 2024 Earth Month+ calendar below. We hope you’ll join the fun and pitch in to Rethink the 3 Rs: Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Repurpose, Rot, and THEN Recycle – not just on Earth Day, and not only during Earth Month, but whenever you have the opportunity!
