April is Earth Month and the City of Orlando is hosting and participating in multiple events for residents to contribute in the effort to “Go Green.”
The City of Orlando has worked to become one of the most sustainable cities in America to ensure that we protect our natural resources and amenities for our residents and future generations. Key to that effort has been working hand in hand with our residents,” Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said.
Earth Month activities include festivals, composting classes, workshops on incentives to save energy, water and money and volunteer opportunities to beautify parks.
