EARTH DAY, APRIL 20
The Ann Arbor Sunday Artisan Market will celebrate Earth Day
2008 on Sunday April 20 with the artwork of 50-plus local and
regional artists, many of whom feature earth-friendly themes and
materials, and informational booths on community-based "green"
programs and practices. Among the day's guests will be:
representatives of the Get Downtown commuter transportation
initiative; People's Food Co-op programs, supporting local organic
farmers and sustainable agricultural practices; Recycle Ann Arbor's
Re-Use Center, which encourages "shopping used first"; Lodi Farms
Nursery; The Ecology Center; Washtenaw County Environmental
Planning (water and soil management); Vespa of Ann Arbor (green
urban transportation); the City of Ann Arbor Public Services (water
gardens); other local ecology programs.
The Artisan Market is a Think Local First and Kerrytown District
Association member, supporting efforts to raise awareness of simple,
sustainable practices for growing the local economy and reducing
waste.
