An Unique Way to Celebrate Earth Day in New York

It is no secret that there are a few things on our planet Earth we should be keeping an eye on. You can't turn on the TV these days without someone mentioning climate change real or not, electric cars good or bad, and my favorite how bad storms are projected to get over the next few years.

I have to agree it does seem like Mother Nature has been a bit erratic these last few years so I always land on the side of caution in these discussions. I will go on record though, electric cars are not for me. I will promise to use reusable bags to make my contribution. I might even celebrate this year by going to an Eart Day event.

Hudson Valley Earth Day Celebrations 2024

Throughout the Hudson Valley, there will be various things you can do to mark Earth Day this year which is officially April 22, 2024. Chances are an organization in your town is doing a cleanup or recycling event.

If not you can bring the kids to the Mohonk Preserve for their Kids' Climate Series - Earth Day Recycle Art Project on Sunday, April 21, from 10 AM to 12:30 PM. The Hudson Highlands Nature Center is also holding an Earth Day Event on Saturday, April 20th from 11 AM to 3 PM. This event would be fun for the whole family.

So what if you are looking for something with more of a grown-up experience? You are in luck because the Shawangunk Wine Trail is once again hosting its Earth Day at the Wineries Event. It is sure to make you and your dog smile.

How Long Have We Celebrated Earth Day

According to the official organizers of Earth Day - earthday.org, it is not a day it is a movement. The very first Earth Day was held 47 years ago on April 22, 1977. In the decades that have followed over 1 billion people annually have been doing their best to protect our planet.
