{down to} earth

April 22nd brought cool winds and overcast skies to Nashville, but even that unseasonable forecast couldn't squelch our Earth Day celebration! We dug to the bottom of our closets for winter sweaters, bundled up and headed out to join Centennial Park's Earth Day festivities.  A nice crowd of fellow earth lovers were already enjoying the day and out in droves to play frisbee, enjoy the food stands, listen to great live music, watch performances, participate in hands on activities and educate themselves on all things earthy.

We really enjoyed feature performances by Nyamba Drum Ensemble from the Global Education Center and The Farewell Drifters.  We ended the day with a brisk walk around the booths and farewell discussion about the small ways we can help to give our Mother Earth some love:

• use re-usable grocery bags or if you take bags from the store, be sure to re-use those plastic or paper bags
• re-use grocery item or take out containers to store odds and ends, food, crafts..anything!
• walk or bike instead of always grabbing those car keys
• have fun and be creative in ways you can reduce, reuse or recycle
