With all you hear in the news about climate change, drought and wild weather, one can begin to wish for Earth Day, Every Day. And of us all, it seems kids are the ones who understand this most. Case in point: Driving to an event last week, my wife and I were told by our three-year old that she has two mothers: Mommy and Mother Earth. Couldn't have said it better myself. If you have kids who love to dig in the dirt, learn about nature, alternative energy sources, and environmental protection, or if you yourself have a passion for the planet (and I hope you do, at least enough to not litter or throw your butts out the window of your car), take yourself and them to the Eau Claire Community Earth Day Celebration. This year it will be in Owen Park (1st and Water St., right along the river) on April 25th from 11am-6pm. See exhibits, activities, workshops and entertainment with an environmental message for us all. Taste locally-grown and organic foods from the exceptional Haymarket Grill, Alchemy Organica and the Goat Coffeehouse. An earthy way to spend the day. Don't forget to support the Beaver Creek Reserve, a jewel among natural areas in the region!
