Get excited about earth day!
Earth day is one of our favorite days over here at Envirojunkies! This holiday is such a great way to really celebrate, show our appreciation for our Earth, and promote living a sustainable lifestyle. Austin, Texas is one of the top green cities in the state, so of course there are plenty of fun, COVID safe, events that are taking place all around the city in celebration of Earth Day! Here are a few that are totally worth participating in:
Earth Day 2021 Run/Walk Challenge
This year will be the 3rd annual Earth Day run/walk challenge held right here in ATX! However, unlike years past, this virtual event takes place during the entire month of April. The idea of this challenge is for participants to document their runs/walks throughout the month and once it reaches Earth Day, the goal is to see how many miles collectively add up. Then your miles will be converted to show how many times you made a trip around the Equator! ! SOO cool right?! The Equator is 24,901 miles, and last year’s earth day run/walk challenge total was 51,023.592 miles. Clearly, so many folks in ATX participated in this last year, so it’s time to do it again! For the Earth! Also, at the end of the month you get a finisher T-shirt for finishing the challenge, which is awesome!

Earth day festival (Round Rock)
Round Rock is just outside Austin, so it is close and this festival is definitely worth the short drive! This event is free for anyone, and all ages are allowed to go! This Earth Day festival is geared towards coming together as a community to clean up the Old Settlers’ Park creek area, as well as spreading awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy Earth. Not only do you get to help clean up the park creek area, but there are also so many other activities at this festival that will keep the fun going! Plus, the first 400 people to arrive will receive a free T-shirt!!! Do your part by participating in this amazing event for Earth Day, 2021!
