Public invited to celebrate Earth Day in Wayne

Posted

 Earth Day falls on April 22 each year, but the Wayne Green Team encourages you to live every day as if it’s Earth Day and invites you to attend free community events celebrating our planet and efforts to reduce waste. 

 Attend the Zero Waste Chamber Coffee on Friday, April 21 at 10 a.m.  Bring your own mug to the Wayne Public Library as you hear the latest on how to reduce, reuse, and recycle in Wayne with our hands-on demos and local green living experts. 

Watch the free Earth Day movie, Kiss the Ground, at the Majestic Theatre, Sunday, April 23 at 7 p.m.  Come to the Majestic Theatre in Wayne for a free screening of the bold documentary, Kiss the Ground.  The film provides a solution to heal our planet by using our Earth’s soil.  Through regenerative agriculture, we can help balance our climate, replenish our freshwater supplies, and feed the world.  Kiss the Ground unveils a game changer for our planet.  Doors open at 6:30 pm with demos, zero waste living tips, and local conservation experts.  The 84-minute film begins at 7 pm.  This free event is hosted for our community by the City of Wayne Green Team, the WSC Green Team, and the A. Jewell Schock Natural History Museum, with funding from the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy.  Bring your own cup and popcorn container to make this a zero waste event.
