Announcing Date & Location for Pikes Peak Earth Day 2011
April 16, 2011 Doherty High School
Colorado Springs, CO – Pikes Peak Earth Day (PPED) has selected its date and location for this year’s event. Pikes Peak Earth Day will be held on Saturday, April 16, 2011 from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm at Doherty High School, 4515 Barnes Rd, Colorado Springs. For the first time, Pikes Peak Earth Day is being celebrated on the eastside of Colorado Springs.
This year’s Earth Day theme is “Earth Day – Why it matters.” To explore that theme, the event will focus on five areas of concern: energy, local foods, recycling, transportation and water.
Since Earth Day is a family event, we will have kid’s activities that include guest presenters, as well as the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's black-footed ferret and other animals. There will even be a project making paper from Elephant dung!
PPED is hosting a High School Sustainability Summit and encouraging all high school Eco/Green/Sustainability/Environmental Clubs to participate. Clubs will have an opportunity to: share and discuss their club’s accomplishments, talk about future sustainability projects/plans, discuss the potential for a High School Sustainability Competition for 2012, discuss ideas on how to involve Junior Highs and Grade Schools as well as gain information & ideas from Earth Day sponsors/vendors and events. Sustainability representatives from the local colleges, the city, CSU and the school districts have also been invited to interact with the high school club members.
The food will be catered by District 11’s Farm to School Program. District 11 will feature some of the great menu items from its “Good Food Project.”
There will be will more than 50 vendors who will be talking about “Why Earth Day matters to them and to us?” The first 100 families to attend the event will receive a reusable “Chico bag” printed with the Pikes Peak Earth Day logo. Additional bags will be available for a $5.00 suggested donation. Our goal is to encourage people to bring their own bag on all shopping trips and eliminate the one-use plastic bag habit.
Pikes Peak Earth Day and El Paso County are also proud to be co-sponsoring the second annual “Colorado Springs Recycles” event on April 9th, 9 AM – 1 PM, at the El Paso County Household Chemical Waste Collection Facility, 3255 Akers Drive. We will be recycling, household chemical wastes, and other materials. This is a free event, but Pikes Peak Earth Day will be encouraging folks to make a financial contribution to support Care and Share’s greenhouse project.
