This year, PEACE has decided to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day in a big way... with Earth Week. We will be hosting and participating in several community events around the Bay. We hope that by spreading the word, that we will be able to ignite community participation on a large level.
Sunday, April 18: River Clean-Up at the Rio Cuale. We start off Earth Week with a river clean-up at the Rio Cuale in Puerto Vallarta. Partnering with Rivera Cuale Condominiums, Vallarta Adventures, and Naef Cuisine, we expect up to 100 volunteers to help clean the 2-mile long river space along the streets of the colonia El Caloso. Volunteers must sign up in advance, and will receive lunch and a t-shirt afterward.
Tuesday, April 20: Movie Night. We will be hosting two movie nights in the Punta de Mita community in both Emiliano Zapata and Corral del Risco, in the main plazas. This is partly organized by the local municipalities and will feature the move "Home" in Spanish. Note: the other dates and times will be announced.
Thursday, April 22: Earth Day Eco Fair. PEACE, along with Bucerias Bilingual Cultural Club, Amigos y Vecinos, and Recicladores de Bucerias will be hosting the First New Eco Fair in Bucerias. Once an annual event, we are trying to start a new tradition on Earth Day. This year's event will have several workshops, information about ecological organizations in the Bay, many great products, and much more! The event is from 10am-5pm.
Saturday, April 24: Recycle Park. We will end our Earth Week event with the building of our first Recycle Park in 2010. Along with EntreAmigos and many many volunteers, PEACE will construct an entire playground made from recycled materials in ONE day. This will be the first of four parks to be constructed in the Mita area this spring.
If you would like additional information about any of these events, want to know how to donate supplies or materials for our Recycle Park, or are interested in volunteering, please contact Nicole Majewski.
