Sustainable Living Association will host Earth Day Fort Collins on Saturday, April 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Civic Center Park, 201 LaPorte Ave.
This year continues our collaboration with the City of Fort Collins to provide more interactive and educational opportunities for attendees. Admission is free and attendees are asked to bring nonperishable food items for the Food Bank. Electronics recycling is being offered through IT Refresh from 12-3 p.m. Drop-off location is at the City Hall parking lot, 300 LaPorte Ave.
Earth Day Fort Collins is a combination of activities and events for the entire family, featuring informational booths and displays, arts & crafts, live music, electric vehicle test drives, speakers, local food, and a beer garden. Arrive early at 10 a.m. to go on a Sustainable Scavenger Hunt around Old Town guided by CSU students. Earth Day is a global movement that encourages and inspires community members to honor the Earth every day and make efforts toward conservation and preservation of our amazing planet for current and future generations.
Earth Day Fort Collins will highlight new projects, activities, and opportunities for citizens in an effort to raise awareness of the many great year-round programs that are available. This year’s theme will focus on energy efficiency and the Georgetown Energy Prize, which the City of Fort Collins is competing in to win. The prize awarded to the winning city is $5 million. The City of Fort Collins will be on hand to discuss what the community can do at work and home to use less energy and save money.
The Sustainable Living Association helps to promote Fort Collins as a city that is active in the implementation of sustainable practices. Earth Day Fort Collins provides attendees an opportunity to learn what area businesses, non-profits, and the local government do to support this global environmental effort and how citizens can get involved.
