Our humble opinion? There’s no better way to honor Earth Day in May than live music, food, local produce, and tons of educational and sustainable vendors. Visit us this Saturday, May 30, at Earthfest by Earth Day Indiana from 10 AM to 4 PM at Garfield Park in Indianapolis. We can’t wait to see you there!

🏫 School pickup lines shouldn’t be asthma trigger zones.

Vehicle exhaust from idling cars contributes to unhealthy air around schools—air that children, staff, and families breathe every day.

This Asthma Awareness Month, help support cleaner air around Indiana schools through our Smart Schools Don’t Idle campaign: www.ikecoalition.org/healthy-schools/smart-schools-dont-idle/

(IKE Coalition is a Hoosier Environmental program.)

Indianapolis Residents: today is the last day to submit a public comment protect this Franklin Township wetland - and it only takes 60 seconds! https://secure.everyaction.com/rbTrDdwHzUu7M6HcZhK8JA2?ms=fbook

Proposed Petition 2026-MOD-003 would fill portions of a high-quality Franklin Township wetland to accommodate a proposed heavy vehicle sales, rental, and repair facility development. Wetlands Not Warehouses: Franklin Township, a grassroots community organization, has already saved the wetland from a proposed development once, and is working to turn the site into a park. The new petition could change everything – but that’s where you come in. Tell the Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission to deny the proposed petition and protect the wetland with our handy form: https://secure.everyaction.com/rbTrDdwHzUu7M6HcZhK8JA2?ms=fbook
