Next Tuesday, April 22, is internationally recognized as Earth Day (at least in the northern hemisphere).

Here’s a quick summary of a few related events in the Austin area this weekend:

Austin Earth Day Farmers Market

It’s much more than a normal Austin Farmers Market. Check it out:

Austin Green Art, a non-profit arts organization dedicated to raising awareness of sustainability issues through art, is kicking off the Sustainability Revolution during this FREE community-wide event featuring green art, local food, music, green business and environmental partners expo with hands-on activities for kids.

Austin Green Living Expo

I hesitate to post this one. Sometimes these convention center expos seem to have more chiropractors, hot tubs and infomercial booths than ‘green technology’. However, it looks like there are several interesting speakers this time around (Will Wynn, Peter Pfeiffer, Kevin O’Connor).
