SF Bay Area Earth Day activites

I am sure there are activities for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day  planed for all over the country which are far too many for me to cover, so I will focus on those planed for the SF Bay Area in California.  Earth Day is on Thursday, but events are planned locally throughout the week. More listings can be found at the SF Gate portal.
