The Procession of the Species is back for Earth Day Durango on April 20th, parading down Main Ave to Buckely Park from 10:30-11am.

This year's theme, "Planet vs Plastics," is a call to action to fight plastic pollution. So get creative and design a costume that embodies the beauty of nature or the dangers of plastic. Whether you're a majestic hawk, a playful otter, or a swirling vortex of plastic waste, let your imagination run wild! ♻️

Save the date: April 20th, 2024! Mark your calendars and start planning your costumes now. More information coming soon.

Tonight!

Ditch the plastic guilt and join the movement! Plastic pollution is a big issue, but the solution doesn't have to be perfect. This talk, "Purging Plastic with Progression, not Perfection," will equip you with tips and tricks to reduce your plastic footprint, one small step at a time. ♻️

Forget the pressure of going zero-waste overnight. Instead, learn about practical alternatives to single-use plastics. Remember, "We don't need a handful of people doing zero-waste perfectly, we need billions doing it imperfectly."

Join us on Monday, April 15th at 5:30pm at the Durango Public Library (Conference Room #2) and be part of the positive change. Together, we can make a real difference!

See you there!

P.S. Don't forget to bring your reusable water bottle and a can-do attitude!
