Go Green at These Earth Day Events
We all have one thing in common: the Earth! Each year, we celebrate Earth Day to honor our planet and remember how important it is to work together to keep it clean. While we all can take action every day by making sustainable choices, Earth Day is a great opportunity to do your part to protect our planet––and have some fun while doing it!
Earth Day Celebrations at Union Wharf
The Earth Day celebrations are starting right here at Union Wharf this year. On April 22nd, we’ll be hosting an open house and giving out succulents to everyone who takes a tour. If you’re a current Union Wharf resident, be sure to let your apartment-hunting friends know!
Happy Birthday, Mr. Trash Wheel!
There’s another very important holiday on April 22nd: Mr. Trash Wheel’s 8th birthday! You may have spotted him in the water, but in case you aren’t familiar with his story, Mr. Trash Wheel is a special trash interceptor machine that collects and disposes of any garbage that comes his way. He is sustainably powered by a unique combination of solar and hydropower.
This little wheel has made a big impact: over the years, he has helped collect 2,004.47 tons of trash and debris. Head to Pierce’s Park on Earth Day to celebrate his birthday and treat yourself to a commemorative Mr. Trash Wheel beer from Peabody Heights Brewery.
