You can plant roses in the Heritage Rose District before you do a little spring closet cleaning and recycle your clothes in the Garment District on April 30th. Then go easy on your budget and the environment on May 5th, and treat yourself to a free movie screening at Mason Hall.
The Heritage Rose District Spring Planting happens on April 30th at Marcus Garvey Park on 120th street and Mount Morris Park West Entrance. It starts at 11am and goes till 1pm. Find out more information here: Heritage Rose Planting Event
You can recycle your used clothing later that day at La Marqueta, 1590 Park Avenue from noon to 5pm. They want your clean but used shoes, coats, sheets, towels, pants, shirts, scarves, belts, handbags-all of it! If you don’t use it and don’t want to throw it away, here is your answer: La Marqueta Textile Recycling Day
Finally, on May 5th you are invited to Gasland, a documentary directed by Josh Fox. Get the invite and RSVP here: Gasland Invite!.
It would be a wonderful contribution to our Earth to make Earth Day every day! Do you have other suggestions for projects and events? Tell us in the comment section!
