Join us at Idlewild Park for this years annual Reno Earth Day. Learn about sustainability, recycling, energy and much more from local non profit and educational groups. While you’re at Reno Earth Day, you can expect another Great American Craft Fair, live local musicians and locally sourced beer. Be sure to bring your flask and reusable shopping tote. In addition to the complimentary water fill stations, aluminum bottled water will be available for purchase.
These are some of the changes we have made to the event:
-Separation of Trash and recycle at an increased number of volunteer manned waste collection stations
-Data collection in the form of weighing and recording all waste collected at the event
-Increased focus on Education
-Sustainability incentivized raffle
-Restrictions on food vendor to go materials
-Not allowing vendors to distribute any single use bags, bottles, cups
-All beverages poured will be sold in a reusable commemorative cup
