Earth Day may only come once a year, but at KQED, Earth Day is celebrated with a full month's worth
of activities and programming. Join us as we examine the state of the world, of California, and of
the Bay Area with this multi-platform view of the world in which we live.
QUEST Earth Day Special: Where We've Been, Where We're Headed
Journey back in time to the birth of the Bay Area's environmental movement. Meet the everyday people who
rescued the Bay Area from environmental disaster and continue to inspire a new generation.
Just in time for Earth Day, KQED is proud to announce a new step in its ongoing efforts to offset its carbon footprint. The
station has teamed with SolarCity, a leading provider of solar power systems, to install solar panels at the
public broadcasting center.
Make Earth Day special with these family- friendly events from our KQED QUEST partners including local museums, parks and other environmental institutions all around the Bay Area.
KQED's Green Home Improvement section shows you how to maintain
a healthy home. We provide information on green products and materials; home and gardening
resources; links to project tools; and home-related KQED TV and Radio program schedule
