Earth Day program embraces mountains [Colleges]
Earth Day is about more than recycling and playing in the grass. For Kentuckians, it’s a day to consider a major part of our economy—and a controversy that extends far beyond our state and national borders.
To commemorate the week, Bellarmine’s Center for Regional Environmental Studies is hosting a guest speaker and a film presentation about coal mining this coming Monday, April 18.
Get a load of this poop! [Urban gardening]
It's just about Earth Day, and that means the Louisville Zoo is once again putting up poop for sale. But, it is the best kind of poop--the composted kind! Compost is key in reducing erosion, increasing water retainment, and enriching the soil in gardens and yards.
This one's for the trees [Family and parenting]
We tend to take her awe and grandeur for granted most days of the week by coughing exhaust into her atmosphere, sucking the water from her depleting veins, and filling her with waste. But Earth Day is around the corner and she has demanded out attention this year through drought, earthquakes, and tsumamis. Celebrate Mother Earth and her glory at one of the following Earth Day events in Louisville during the month of April.
Celebration Saturday in Clarksville [Southern Indiana]
By Josh Cook
Sure Earth Day was a few weeks ago, but for those of you who believe that every day should be about the appreciation and awareness of our planet's environment then Clarksville, Ind. was the place for you Saturday.
That's because not only did the Falls of the Ohio State Park have its annual Earth Day celebration, there was also a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the latest addition to the Ohio River Greenway project.
Hummer driver's Earth Day ruined [Crescent Hill]
Driving down Frankfort Avenue today, I noticed a cop filling out a ticket and placing it beneath a black Hummer's windshield wiper. The owner, who exited Shiraz Mediterranean Grill (2011 Frankfort Ave.) moments later, had parked in an illegal spot. I bet if he drove a more environmentally friendly vehicle, the officer would have let him slide. It is Earth Day after all.
Celebrate Earth Day in Louisville by picking up, going green and having fun
I hate Earth Day.
While the first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970, no one save a few stinky hippies gave a smoldering compost pile about it until the early 1990s. And by that time, April 22 had become an important day for another reason: in 1976 it became my birthday.
