What are your plans for Earth Day?

earth-day-2013-istock23733018The Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to host their annual Healthy EARTH, Healthy YOU 5k Run and Walk, this Saturday!  The event course meanders on the historic Duwamish/Green River Trail which borders the Duwamish River.  The FUN run is ideal for people of all ages and abilities, strollers are even welcomed.  A post-run event will include a  river-side restoration project where each participant will have the opportunity to plant a tree or shrub to honor the health of the earth! 

Each year, Earth Day—April 22—marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Today, the fight for a clean environment continues with increasing urgency, as the ravages of climate change become more manifest every day. We invite you to be a part of Earth Day and help write many more chapters into the Earth Day book.
