With Earth Day drawing near it's time to celebrate everything Green! We'll take you back in time, to the very first Earth Day, then skip ahead again and hear about a group of students who treat every day like Earth Day. We'll also fill you in on ways that you can celebrate, even if you don't want to spend any money. And, as always, we'll be swinging and swaying to some very fitting music.

As fall settles into the Northern Hemisphere, Youth Beat looks at some of the ways its arrival is heralded around the world. From foreign shores, to your own back door, we'll delve into celebrations and festivities that are as colorful and diverse as the people celebrating them.
