What a time for a golden anniversary. Celebrated annually since 1970, Earth Day commemorates its 50th year of existence as the world faces an unprecedented global crisis. While this particular Earth Day won't be filled with parades, communal beach cleanups, and school field trips to plant trees, fear not: when there's a will to honor the environment, there's a way. Inspire your inner environmentalist by listening to some of our favorite earth-loving audio.

This audible version with Claire Danes narrating is absolutely fantastic. Her voice pairs beautifully with the story. The added music and sound effects (cats purring, wind blowing, etc) is an excellent addition. This is one of my families favorites!

Amazing

The background piano music that never stops, joined by other noises meant to dramatize the story, renders this recording impossible to listen to. Whoever thought that this brilliant, timeless, beloved story needed to be tricked up with noise should be fired on the spot.

Unlistenable
