If you want to celebrate Earth Day in Cleveland, OH, the best place to be is the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo for two events run by the Earth Day Coalition, EarthFest and Walk for the Earth. This year is the 41st anniversary of Earth Day, which Clevelanders of all stripes take quite seriously. Cleveland is a green city, well on its way to making our region a healthier, greener place for all of to live.
EarthFest has been going on since 1990, a festival highlighting the growing environmental community of Northeast Ohio. This celebration of collective efforts to restore ecological health is geared toward educating and inviting the general public to take part in the sustainability movement. Between 10,000 and 50,000 people attend EarthFest each year, which is Ohio’s largest environmental education event and the longest running earth day celebration in the United States.
This is a family event, with lots of go green exhibits and interactive fun. Activities go on all day in the areas of Renewable Energy, Green Home Improvement, Local and Organic Foods, Clean Transportation, Eco-Family Activities, Environmental Science, and Health and Fitness. There is also live music and lots of great food choices.
The Earth Day Coalition’s 22nd annual Walk for the Earth is will also be held on on Sunday, April 17, 2011. You can support Earth Day Coalition’s year round environmental education, action and leadership programs in 2011 by walking 6 miles through the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and Brookside Park, or biking to the Zoo from four community locations on Earth Day.
There is still plenty of time to join in and participate in both these events as a leader, sponsor, or just a participant. For more information about EarthFest, and/or Walk for the Earth 2011, call 216-281-6468.
