Earth Day 2020 goes digital across Indiana
While many communities and organizations were planning big festivities for the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22, those plans have gone digital nationwide as well as in the Hoosier state at this time.
Dubois County Solid Waste Management District director, Carla Striegel-Winner, invites Dubois Countians to join in the social media campaign put together by the Association of Indiana Solid Waste Management Districts (AISWMD) educators across the state.
The group invites Hoosiers to celebrate Earth Day all week long by choosing one or more “challenges” put together by the group. Folks can take a photo of themselves doing the challenges and be eligible for prizes at the end of the week.
In addition to the challenge, the Facebook page and Instagram feeds created will be posting lots of great stuff for adults and kids all week, including:
- DIY videos- gardening, vermicomposting, t shirt bags, papermaking, etc.
- Storytime
- Virtual tours
- Spotlights on Indiana businesses
- Tips of the Day
- Inspirational quotes
- Facebook live events
Dubois County Residents may go to the Dubois County Solid Waste District Facebook page to find info, or go to @aismwdeducators on Facebook. Instagram.com/aiswmd_educators will go to the Instagram feed.
Director Striegel-Winner encourages residents to take advantage of all of these great resources, but also wants to remind residents to just take a break outside and enjoy the Earth, device free!
