City of Alexandria Celebrates Earth Day Throughout April

­For Immediate Release: March 27, 2023

The City of Alexandria will celebrate Earth Day throughout April with virtual and in-person events, providing information to empower residents to make a positive impact on the environment.

The theme of Alexandria Earth Day 2023 is “Invest in Our Planet: Practicing Sustainability,” which focuses on participating in our vibrant community in ways that are mindful of the needs of future generations.

During this year’s Earth Day-related events, participants can:

  • Join the City’s Stormwater Management team in cleaning up litter at Four Mile Run Park, in conjunction with the Alice Ferguson Foundation’s Potomac River cleanup, on Saturday, April 15.
  • Stop by City Hall’ s Vola Lawson Lobby all month long to check out a gallery of sustainability-themed artwork created by K-8 students in Alexandria City Public Schools.
  • Watch a local environmental champion receive the 2023 Ellen Pickering Environmental Excellence Award during the Del Ray GardenFest on Sunday, April 23.
  • Raise funds to help beautify and protect Alexandria’s environment on a two-mile dog walk in Old Town, led by Mayor Justin Wilson, NBC Meteorologist Chuck Bell and Monte Durham of “Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta,” on Saturday, April 29.
  • Check out the different electric vehicles in our community – from electric buses and cars to e-bikes and scooters – at the Office of Climate Action’s Electric Vehicle Showcase on Sunday, April 30.

There will also be opportunities to plant trees and plants, learn how to ride a bike, and participate in learning sessions designed to help residents conserve energy and reduce food waste.
