ALSIP, IL — Kids ages 5 through 12 are invited to an Earth Day workshop at the Alsip Park District from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 26. Make crafts out of recycled products and learn how to be environmentally friendly every day. The celebration takes place at the Apollo Recreation Center, 12521 S Kostner Ave., Alsip. The theme of Earth Day 2019 campaign "save our species."

“Nature’s gifts to our planet are the millions of species that we know and love, and many more that remain to be discovered. Unfortunately, human beings have irrevocably upset the balance of nature and, as a result, the world is facing the greatest rate of extinction since we lost the dinosaurs more than 60 million years ago. But unlike the fate of the dinosaurs, the rapid extinction of species in our world today is the result of human activity,”Earth Day Network writes. “If we do not act now, extinction may be humanity’s most enduring legacy.”

Kids will get to plant something special to take home to grow for their very own. This is a free event but registration is required, which can be done online (Activity Code 343773-A). You may also register in person at the Apollo Recreation Center.
