I may not be the most Earth-friendly person, but I try to make eco-friendly choices when I can. I switch to CFL light bulbs, recycle and buy random eco-friendly products when I can. Honestly, I'm not very dedicated to the cause, but when others make it easier or more convenient to make those decisions, I will.
So, here's an event that makes it easier for you to help beautify the Earth, or more specifically, Bethlehem. Historic District Downtown Bethlehem Earth Day Cleanup and Celebration will take place on Saturday, April 28, beginning at 9 a.m. Volunteers will help clean up the South Side and plant new flowers for spring until 11 a.m. Then the celebration will begin, and attendees can meet representatives from local eco-friendly organizations while walking the streets of Bethlehem. Local bands will provide live music, and anyone who shops or dines in the downtown district can help the cause by donating a dollar toward having a tree planted in Bethlehem.
More information about the event can be found at its Facebook page. Also, according to the Downtown Bethlehem Association's website, anyone who would like to volunteering at the event can email lolyr@lehighvalleychamber.org for more information.
With events like these taking place on the South Side, it's much easier to get involved. I know I wouldn't take my own initiative to pick of litter or trash on the side of the road, but it's almost hard not to get involved when someone else organizes the event for you. So get out there, and help clean up Bethlehem, then relax and enjoy the city we live in. Saturday offers us an opportunity to give back to and take care of our home.

Things to do in the LV this week
All this week through April 15, Skirmish Paintball is hosting half prcie paintballing for students. Now what student doesn't love half price paintball? For $14.95, students can bring their ID and play all day (plus the cost of paintballs, which is $52 for 1,000 according to their site).
Now, if you're like me, and hate guns, then maybe you'd be more interested in seeing David Sedaris,the country'sforerunner in humor writing, tomorrow at Raritan Valley Community College. The tickets are a bit pricier at $50 than paintballing, but I'd bet it's worth it.
If you don't like paintballing or humor, maybe the Spring Wine & Food Festival from 1 to 5 p.m. this weekend is more your taste. Wine tastings and meals are throughout each of the two days at Bear Creek Mountain Resort.
Many other events are listed on Discover Lehigh Valley and The Express Times' websites. It's actually hard to not find someting to do with all the possible options the Lehigh Valley has to offer on any day of the week, especially weekends.
There is such an assortment of events that I would suggest trying out different things just to see if you like them. Whether it's an art show or a comedy show, it's pretty much inevitable that you can find something new and exciting to do in the Valley.
