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.
