Oak Cliff Earth Day 2013 was an eco-friendly success according to the people attending the event on Sunday, April 21. The atmosphere was very laid back and friendly, sort of like visiting your favorite cousin. There was plenty of entertainment and education going on. The Mutt Strut was one of the main events
The sun shone, the vendors were upbeat and the crowds turned out for Earth Day Dallas at Fair Park this weekend. While we heard some complaints about greenwashing, overall there was lots of green energy.
A great group of greenies turned out for Green Source DFW’s pre-Earth Day mixer on Thursday, April 18. Business connections and new friends were made during the gathering at The People’s Last Stand in Dallas.
Here’s a snapshot of some of the multi-talented and eco-minded attendees:
When well-known Dallasite Trammell S. Crow founded Earth Day Dallas in 2011, it was held in the Arts District downtown in April and drew 265 exhibitors and 48,000 visitors in the first year. The following year, the event grew, attracting roughly 58,000 people at its new larger location at Fair Park, where the event will be held again in 2013 on April 20 and 21 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Folks in and around Dallas’ Greenville Avenue, and otherwise, are now privileged to have Green Grocer (www.greengrocerdallas.com), another source of locally grown fresh organic food, as well as, among other things, a variety of beer and wine, eggs, meat, cheeses, chocolates, and coffee.
