Time to reduce, reuse and recycle. You guessed it - it's Earth Day, or some similar day. In this episode, our characters will sit down and probably learn some sort of Green Aesop during their celebration of eco-friendly activities.
This episode can air during or near any recognized eco holiday, not just Earth Day. However, as many people do not know the exact date of Earth Day, simply announcing the presence of some Green Holiday regardless of what time of year it is works just as well.
Expect lots of green decorations if they announce the holiday during the show, or a Green Aesop at minimum if they timed it to coincide with an eco holiday.
Older shows that do this are given to using scare tactics with this holiday while younger shows praise the things like planting trees, recycling, picking up litter etc. If this episode has an antagonist, it will usually introduce an Ecocidal Antagonist whose plans to pollute the environment must be stopped by the protagonists.
It is not the most common choice in the list of holiday episodes, but it occurs regardless. Earth Day episodes tend to show up a lot more in shows meant for younger audiences.
Subtrope of A Very Special Episode. Compare Valentine's Day Episode and Christmas Episode.

Thrilling Adventure Hour has an annual "I'm from Earth Day" on Earth Day (which plays on the catchphrase of Sparks Nevada, Marshall on Mars- "I'm... From Earth").

SuperMansion had an Earth Day special in "World War Tree", where the League of Freedom had to defend humanity from some trees that have come to life and want to wipe out all humans for their acts of deforestation.

The iCarly episode "iGo Nuclear" was made because Nickelodeon made them do it. Dan Schnieder stuck it to the execs by having all of Carly's attempts to go green backfire on her.

Rocko's Modern Life: "Zanzibar" was made in part of creator Joe Murray and his then-wife being big recyclers, and also because Nickelodeon was on a big environmental kick and wanted their Nicktoons to reflect that. It's a Musical Episode where Rocko and his neighbors learn about recycling and conservation, and try to get the Conglom-O corporation to stop polluting O-Town.

Lilo & Stitch: The Series: Experiment 505 aka Ploot was activated on Earth Day and was designed to collect garbage and spew toxic sludge wherever he went. He collected so much trash he grew into a giant, monstrous alien, and Lilo had to catch him on her own because Stitch got sick from eating rubbish.

Arthur: The Green Aesop episode "The Cherry Tree" is usually aired on Arbor Day, for its preachy message of how cutting down a lot of trees is bad for the environment, and Muffy is saddened that her favorite cherry tree was cut down to make room for a bouncy castle for a party she's having.

Bad Dog: The season two episode "Earth Dog" is about Berkeley trying to help Penelope celebrate Earth Day. One instance of this involves trying to keep the house's energy consumption down, which Berkeley accomplishes by unplugging any large amount of electronics that either Vic, Trevor, or Grandpa Potanski are using for something or other.

It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown, first aired in 1976, long before Earth Day was an established holiday, and is one of the few specials dedicated to Arbor Day. Lucy and the gang decide to plant some trees in the empty baseball field, much to Charlie Brown's consternation.

Poptropica: On Earth Day of 2010, a mini-island called "Don't Be an Energy Hog" was released. It's a small minigame where the player has to go through a house and turn off all the electronic devices, keeping the energy use down for a certain amount of time. Winning it gets you a celebratory Earth Day shirt.

Many newspaper comics have a special strip for Earth Day, or at least mention it. From The Comics Curmudgeon (so there were probably more strips each year that he didn't have room to make jokes about):
2008 Mary Worth mentions it in passing; Beetle Bailey and Dennis the Menace (US) base the strip round it.
2009: The Phantom and Spider-Man mention it in passing; Beetle Bailey, Dennis the Menace, Curtis and Marvin base strips around it.

South Park: "Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow" subverts the usual expectations of an Earth Day episode by portraying the Earth Day organization as crazy environmentalists who brainwash people, claim Republicans are responsible for ruining the Earth, and threaten bodily harm when promises aren't delivered to them. No Green Aesop is learned.
