DALLAS – With the springlike weather that’s now being enjoyed across Texas, residents are busy making plans and getting ready for next month’s 45th annual Earth Day celebration.
Jillian Moch, communications associate for Earth Day Texas, said they’re expecting around 75,000 people for an event at Fair Park in Dallas, to be held April 24-26.

“Visitors will be able to learn from renewable-energy groups, green businesses, conservation advocates, government entities,” she said. “There is also going to be a lot of really great programming – hands-on activities, interactive activities, music, art, speakers.”
In addition to the Dallas celebration, events also are planned in a number of other communities across Texas, although Moch noted that anyone in any corner of the state can get involved, just by making changes on their own – from recycling to changing over to LED light bulbs.
“There’s really, really simple things, and a lot of the times they’re things you can do at home that might save energy,” she said. “It might save the environment in some way, but it also saves money.”
Earth Day now is the largest civic observance in the world, with more than 1 billion people participating in related activities each year.
