Do you want to help the planet? Events offer the opportunity to give something back for Earth Day

It's a way to thank the earth and an opportunity to give back.

Several Earth Day cleanups are taking place in Southern California. Whether you want to join a volunteer group or do a solo cleanup, there are several ways you can go to help.

While Earth Day is technically Thursday, April 22nd, there will be events this weekend and next. And the virtual options run throughout the month and can be run at your own pace.

An additional benefit? The weather couldn't be better this weekend. Temperatures hit the upper 70s and possibly even the 80s along the coast.
