I just found out from folks at the Earth Day Network that Secretary Duncan will discuss how education can play a role in developing a green economy. Sec. Salazar of Interior, Donovan of HUD, Sen. Cantwell and Congressman Blumenauer will also be present. At noon, Greenpeace will rally to save the whales. Apparently Obama is lifting the ban on commercial whaling today.

There will be a full day of events with live music, dance, booths, and more. Here are some highlights:
