As people took turns spinning a nearly 2-foot-wide multicolored wheel, a woman sporting a \u201cCelebrate Everyday like It’s Earth Day,\u201d T-shirt jumped up and down frantically nearby,\u00a0 waiting for the spinner\u2019s hands of fate to settle. The needle slowed, then landed on \u201cSilicone Cup.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes!\u201d she said, stuffing her new reusable treasure from Durham Parks and Recreation into a canvas tote bag.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was the 2023 Durham Earth Day Festival on April 24, where people ate, danced, and learned about how to make Durham\u2019s corner of the world a more sustainable place, while getting some free merch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Before heading into the festival at Durham Central Park, attendees checked their bikes at <\/span>Durham\u2019s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission\u2019s <\/span>bike valet station. Kids were encouraged to test their skills at the parking lot\u2019s colorful obstacle course, courtesy of Bike Durham, a nonprofit advocating for safe, affordable, sustainable transportation for all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those looking to toss their dirty napkins didn\u2019t have to lift a finger. Trained Durham Parks and Rec volunteers dutifully took each attendee\u2019s trash at a central trash station, sorting it into bins labeled \u201crecycling\u201d or \u201clandfill.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone inspired by the festival\u2019s commitment to proper recycling could sign up for the new ReCollective subscription service. The team of two is one of the first in the Triangle to handle hard-to-recycle materials that can\u2019t go in the curbside bin, such as styrofoam and light bulbs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Festival-goers treated themselves to artisan crafts like beaded bracelets and flower-pressed charms. Off-The-Hook, a crochet business run by a team of three high schoolers, showed off handmade flower and bear coasters on theme with the spirit of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I\u2019ve been loving the free stuff,\u201d said Kaleela, who came with her kids but escaped them momentarily to gather as much merch as possible from the various stands around the park.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kids beat their own homemade drums alongside professional bands such as Grupo Caribe Vibe, Vertigo, and Sensory Expressions Band & Steele Drums. Face-painted toddlers weaved through the crowd, while dogs dragged their owners through the park.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"A little girl tugged her mom to greet Kismet, a gentle black dog awaiting his permanent home by the Animal Protection Society of Durham table. There, festival attendees flipped through binders filled with adoptable dogs and cats coded by each creature\u2019s \u201cpersonality color\u201d \u2014 orange for more energetic dogs, blue for mellow and green for sweet and sensitive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though they weren\u2019t looking for a pet, the mother and daughter pair couldn\u2019t resist bringing the pup home with them. Within 24 hours, it was official\u2014Kismet had found his new family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nearby, a festival-goer in a floral orange button-up stepped into a forest of houseplants under the shade of the pavilion provided by KW Edible Landscaping Nursery, a local business run by a husband and wife team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some visitors took one sample, then snuck a few more, of Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge\u2019s vegan snacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe do a lot of things that people don\u2019t think vegan food is good at,\u201d said John Tallent, the farm\u2019s administrative director. For Earth Day, they offered chocolate, cheese, and soy jerky on shiny silver platters.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to producing gourmet plant-based delights, the nonprofit also provides a safe home for rescued farm animals in structures that are specially designed with particular animals in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Honeybee Hemp Farms\u2019 stand, tie-dyed patrons took generous samples of the group\u2019s medicinal CBD and THC honey. Even pups could partake of\u00a0 Honeybee Hemp Hounds, a line of calming CBD dog treats.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have traditional calming and then hip and joint supplements over here,\u201d said Allen Pickett, Honeybee Hemp Farms\u2019 beekeeper, gesturing towards a rack of dog treats. \u201cThese are great for dogs with higher energy or anxiety.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Thirsty festival-goers could wash all the Earth Day snacks down at a water refill station provided by the water management department of the City of Durham. The booth educated visitors on how to conserve water, complete with a miniature toilet to advertise the city\u2019s new WaterSense Toilet Rebate. Durham implemented the program to incentivize switching to toilets that cut down on water usage. In most cases, the rebates are applied as credits to customer\u2019s water bills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other environmental groups like the Environmental Protection Agency, Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association, and the Durham Master Gardeners all shared resources on how to get involved in making Durham a greener place.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the day came to a close, festival-goers biked away with pockets stuffed with free merch and a commitment to bring Earth day energy to every day.<\/span><\/p>\n
