Greenpoint residents understand the importance of going green. On Saturday April 19th Greenpoint will hold, for the first time an Earth Day celebration spectacular. The celebration will be held at McCarren Park and there will be much to do like a scavenger hunt, live music and recycled artwork will be featured as well. There will also be health and wellness vendors, yoga, granola, tree hugging and a bunch of vegans….I bet. One thing for sure it will be interesting if you have never been to an event at McCarren Park before. Quite a crowd gathers.
Our planet is in pretty bad shape and Earth Day should be seriously celebrated across the globe. You never know, if people get a little more interested and learn what they can do themselves to better the world maybe, just maybe they will get out of their Hummer and into a Prius.
What I think is important about this celebration spectacular is that they will be giving lessons on what individuals can do to make a change. Teaching environmentally sound ways of life is what will truly help change, people will no longer have the excuse that one person can’t change the world or that they don’t know what they as an individual can do to change.Say NO to plastic bags at the bodega!
I wonder if there is going to be anything unique at this one or any new suggestions. Although I guess there are plenty of old suggestions that people still ignore!
