Earth Day Indiana celebrates its 30th anniversary this month, but the annual birthday party in Indianapolis won’t take place in April this year. Concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have postponed the gathering. It is now scheduled for Saturday, July 18 in Military Park, in downtown Indianapolis.

WFYI’s Jill Ditmire spoke with Executive Director of Earth Day Indiana Incorporated Greg Ziesmer about its environmental impact on the state and outreach for the future.
