Discovery Green Conservancy, in partnership with Citizens Environmental Coalition, hosts this year’s Green Mountain Energy Earth Day, combined with the popular Houston Public Works’ Water Works Festival.

This year’s Green Mountain Energy Earth Day is themed around one of the most vital natural resources, water. It features the popular Houston Public Works Water Works Festival with the goal of highlighting one of the central environmental issues that affects all Houstonians. The proper care and management of Houston’s water is vital for the city’s future.

The Water Works Festival will bring its interactive exhibits to educate families about water as an essential resource. Houstonians can expect family-friendly performances, live music, crafts, and activities. The event will also feature a bike valet service and an electric vehicle petting zoo with the world’s first electric vehicle, the Mars Rover. Visitors will enjoy a Magpies and Peacocks fashion exhibit made from Trash Recycled materials, Mad Science demonstrations, photo opportunities, and chalk painting. Other speakers include environmental justice activist, Hilton Kelley and Space City Weather journalist, Eric Berger. Lacy Johnson, co-editor of More City than Water, and other writers will be on site collecting flood, storm and water stories from Houstonians. Food trucks will be on-site selling food and drink.

This free event will be zero-waste, and patrons are encouraged to bring refillable water bottles and utensils; exhibitors will ensure waste is minimized by only providing reusable or compostable items.
