KALAMAZOO (WKZO AM/FM) — Its Earth Day here on this planet and events have been scheduled all over, and in your backyard.
You may have heard that scientists will be taking off their lab coats and picking up picket signs and hitting the streets in Washington and in big cities all over the country on this Earth Day to specifically protest proposed cuts to a wide range of research agencies and the climate change deniers in the White House.
There will be a march for science in Kalamazoo beginning at 2 p.m. beginning at the flagpoles on the WMU Campus. Hundreds are expected to turn out.
They will march down to Bronson Park where an Earth Day celebration is planned.
The theme will be “Make a Promise to Earth” with a focus on global warming and what can be done to curb it.
There will be music and food. There will be interactive displays and booths and arts and crafts. It’s free and it will begin at 3 p.m. and end at 8.
The Kalamazoo Nature Center will have their own Earth Day events including the Raccoon Run for kids and a 5k and a 10k for adults. There will be booths and activities from 9am to 4pm and today admission is free.
