Earth Day!

Earth Day Fair - April 22
The City and County of Denver invites you to join them at their annual Earth Day Fair in Civic Center Park. This free event will highlight over 30 booths – each highlighting environmental and sustainable products, foods, and resources.
In addition to the Fair they have expanded to include a Reduce, Reuse, Recycle event. Bring us your unwanted clothing, household items, books, and outdoor equipment, and they will make sure that it finds a new “life” and remains out of a landfill.
KBCO will be with them all day broadcasting live with Ginger.

There are other activites going on in the Denver community for Earth Day 2009. There will be the First Annual Denver Earth Day Hunt, with Environ-trivia, Earth Games and Clever Clues, and everyone will walk away with 10 ways in which we can all help to preserve our planet. The Colorado Green Festival is the largest sustainability event in the world of what’s working in our communities—for people, business, and the environment. The City of Denver’s pavilion will feature multiple programs and services, including The Mile High Million tree planting initiative, Denver’s upcoming Bike Sharing Program, and the Neighborhood Weatherization Project. For more information, visit www.greenfestivals.org. There will also be several community garden projects and tree planting ceremonies. You can find a complete list of events by zip code on the EarthDay.net website.

20 Games of Green!

Over the course of 20 games this season, the Colorado Rockies will be enlisting fans and players toward making a positive impact on the environment through the "20 Games of Green" initiative.

The 20 games are split into three "Green Weeks," April 24-29, July 6-12 and September 1-7. Each "Green Week" will feature ticket packages, in-game incentives, fan contests, bike-to-the-game events and more.

They have a calendar of events, but here is a cool one:
"Wood for Wood" - For every Rockies home run hit during these 20 games, we will plant one tree in the Denver area.
