EARTH MAN can be found all over Boulder, but here you can see he’s playing in the heart of Pearl Street.

If you’ve walked the red-brick path of Pearl Street Mall, chances are you’ve seen him—Earth Man, a vibrant, passionate figure clad in eco-themed attire, waving his signs and shouting messages of love for the Earth. For years, Earth Man has been a beloved and memorable presence in Boulder, spreading environmental awareness one passerby at a time.

This Earth Day, we honor not only the planet—but also those who advocate for it. And few embody that spirit in Boulder quite like Earth Man.

More than just a performer, Earth Man is a reminder of Boulder’s deep connection to nature and our community’s long-standing commitment to sustainability. He brings life to the streets with his enthusiasm, transforming a simple walk down the mall into a moment of inspiration.

The Pearl Street Mall itself is the perfect backdrop for Earth Day celebrations. A pedestrian-only promenade filled with local shops, native landscaping, and public art, it represents Boulder’s balance of commerce, creativity, and environmental consciousness. From its bike racks and compost bins to sidewalk performers and vibrant flowers, Pearl Street is more than a shopping district—it’s a living, breathing reflection of Boulder values.

Earth Day in Boulder is no small occasion. Each year, the city hosts a range of events like neighborhood clean-ups, tree plantings, educational workshops, and climate talks. Organizations, students, and families all come together with one goal: to protect the natural beauty that surrounds us—from the Flatirons to the creek.

So today, as the mall bustles with energy, and Earth Man raises his voice once more, remember what Earth Day stands for—and how lucky we are to live in a city that listens.

Because in Boulder, every day is Earth Day. And Earth Man reminds us that one voice—one person—can make a lasting impact.
