Keep Fort Worth Beautiful

Celebrate the planet at the Earth Party

Posted April 2, 2012

Fort Worth will be getting greener on April 14 during the Cowtown Great American Cleanup. Volunteers from every corner of Fort Worth are signing up to clean their neighborhoods, parks, schools and even along creeks and river banks.

Even if you haven’t signed up to participate in the cleanup, everyone is invited to attend The Earth Party following the cleanup activities. The Earth Party is 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. April 14 in Trinity Park near the Police and Fire Memorial off Seventh Street.

This community party celebrates Fort Worth going green in a big way. Guests can enjoy a free zero-waste lunch. If you don’t know what that is, come and see how it’s done.

Vocal Trash, a unique band that plays instruments using recycled items, will perform. Exhibitors will showcase something for everyone: get fitted for a kayak by Backwoods, check out how to compost in your own back yard and learn more about saving water.

For children, there will be face painting and games. Waste Management will have a recycling truck on display for all to view. The City of Fort Worth’s Animal Shelter will bring its mobile adoption truck so puppies and dogs have the opportunity to be adopted and find a loving home.

There is no admission fee. Bring a blanket, pack your lunch and enjoy the afternoon.
