CELEBRATE A HEALTHY PLANET
Earth Day festivities stretch out over a couple of weeks here in Long Beach. The official city-sponsored free event takes place at Recreation Park on Saturday May 2 from 11 am to 3 pm. There’ll be vendor booths with information on conserving resources and saving money and lots of groups on hand to let you know how to get involved in making our world cleaner and greener plus kids’ activities, music and giveaways. If you’re interested in a refreshing stroll, head over to nearby Colorado Lagoon for a walking tour. It’s not too late to volunteer and get an insider’s view.
This Saturday, April 25, you have your choice of events. The Aquarium of the Pacific has special exhibits on Saturday and Sunday which are included in the price of admission. There’s a $10 discount for adult tickets if you bring an e-waste item. Big guns like Honda and the Sierra Club among many others will be there and the Aquarium’s watersheds exhibit is a must see for environmental enlightenment.
Volunteers will be along the trail at El Dorado Nature Center on Saturday April 25 from 10 am to 2 pm to answer questions about the plants, birds and pond dwellers (love those box turtles!) you’ll find there. Admission is free, but there is a parking fee, so save the planet as well as a few bucks and ride your bike or at least ride share.
The Long Beach Green Guide lists several other interesting events, including an Earth Day Mixer sponsored by Friends of Colorado Lagoon, an Earth Day Celebration at Tract’s, a week-long showing of Fuel at the Art Theatre, and oodles of neighborhood clean-up opportunities.
