I did not know April 22 is Earth Day before thank you for introducing it! I am looking forward to final reception and seeing hidden talents of classmates.
Yay! The final reception should be fun!
Thanks for this useful information. I will do the Walking Waller Creek self-guided tour, and I will practice listening with the recordings 🙂
Also, Burnt Orange & Green Fair is a great idea for promoting reusable items which is a current necessity. Single use plastics are everywhere, but we shouldn’t use them if we have the chance to use an alternative eco-friendly recipient.
That’s a good point about plastics!
I can’t wait to go to the final reception.
Me too! It should be really fun!
I didn’t know about these information before thank you for sharing them. I would love to be part of this lovely event and I’ll show my support and appreciation to out Earth by doing something helpful of plant a small green plant.
Excellent! It’s nice to show support for Earth Day.
Thanks for the great information! I might try to go to the green tour of UT or the walking tour of Waller creek!
I’m so glad!
The temperature has been really good in recent days, all around 73 degrees, which feels like the most comfortable time in Austin. Because my dad is an engineer who does environmental protection work, I knew about Earth Day at a very young age! Let’s protect the earth together!
Thanks for sharing that about your dad! The short spring we have in Texas is my favorite time of year!
Thanks so much for the details about the amazing events!
I am interested in Make Your Own Terrarium, but we have classes at the same time as the event~ What a pity~
Thant’s for reading. I’m sorry you will be in class during that event.
Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know the Earth Day before. In China, we have an Arbor Day on March 12, which is the enthusiasm of China to inspire people’s love of forest, afforestation, promote land green, protect human beings to survive ecological environments. In addition, I think everyone who lives in the world has a responsibility to protect our world.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing about Arbor Day in China. I didn’t know about that.
Hi dear Jack! So much cool events and useful information! I’d like do the Walking Waller Creek self-guided tour, sounds great!
Yay, Gali! I’m so glad! I hope you enjoy it.
