Earth Day in SA
By Steve Walker
Earth Day is an exciting time to be outside, creating, exploring, and
celebrating the Environment. For those who live in San Antonio, these special
events, informs us how to protect the resources which are essential to the
well-being of San Antonio and surrounding cities. I live in Helotes.
There will be a diversity of booths, educational activities, delicious
vegetarian and vegan food, environmental speakers, live music, outdoor games,
giveaways, a raffle and fun for the entire family.
The Official City of San Antonio Earth Day 2019 event as well as an
official Fiesta Event ,will take place next Saturday, April 13th 10
a.m.-3 p.m. at Woodlawn Lake Park, 501 S. Josephine Tobin.
Having attended for a number of years at Woodlawn Lake Park it is
exciting and the crowds increase as the day progresses. Parking can be a
problem as well. Carpooling makes it easier for many staying all day. Kids can
be viewed scampering everywhere. I have seen a number of people attending that
I see year after year. Who knew?
As I just noted, Earth
Day San Antonio is an Official Fiesta San Antonio event and is put on by the
Westside Development Corporation and The Earth Day Committee.
The event every year seeks to educate San Antonio
residents and visitors on the value of protecting the environment and on
practices that can preserve or improve our communities. We know that protecting
our environment is a good thing for healthy living by securing clean water, nutritious food, and clean air for our city.
Conserving our natural ecosystems provides opportunities for inspiration
and outdoor recreation. We should all be invested in protecting these rights
and opportunities for future generations.
