Friday is Earth Day, and there are a number of opportunities to celebrate around the Coulee Region!
You could start early by attending La Crosse's second "solar power hour", to learn more about Xcel's proposed community solar gardens. Any Wisconsin Xcel customer can enroll, even renters - no roof required!
On Friday, the local Fox station (25/48) will be airing "Mysteries of the Driftless Area" at 6:30, the award-winning documentary about the amazing resources in our area.
Saturday is the La Crosse Marsh clean-up, from 9-2, starting at Myrick Park's Gun Club shelter. Lunch is provided for volunteers. If you're a Sierra Club member, the local chapter is also conducting their spring highway clean-up of River Valley Drive that day, starting at 10:00.
And of course, there's the Earth Fair at Myrick Park on Sunday from 11:00-5:00! There will be an amazing number of vendors and local organizations (including Coulee Region Climate Alliance) with information and products to share, plus food, music, and kid's activities. See the full schedule of events here. There will also be a Recycling Fair nearby, in the Emerson Elementary parking lot, where you can drop off household electronics (TVs, stereos, computers, etc.).
If you know of other Earth Day activities in the area that you'd like to share, let us know!
