Message from the Chair

April 22nd marks the 51st Earth Day, and despite the ongoing pandemic, people around the world are organizing events to celebrate Earth Day 2021.  Our Section is hosting two webinars in honor of Earth Day, one addressing environmental injustice and another on carbon finance.  Learn more and register here.  In addition, this Thursday, author Mark Arax will join our monthly Book Club to discuss his captivating book, The Dreamt Land: Chasing Water and Dust Across California.  Register for Book Club here.  We hope you’ll join us. 

For more opportunities to engage on Earth Day, peruse EARTHDAY.ORG’s global map of events, from teach-ins and lectures, to art and scavenger hunts, and local clean-ups and tree plantings.  With so many events online this year, it is easier than ever to take part in happenings across the world.  Beyond April 22nd, consider which of the Section’s Law Office Sustainability Guidelines you can incorporate into your daily work life.  Are you ready to take the plunge and sign the Eco-Pledge?
