Celebrate Earth Month

The Oak Brook Park District invites you to celebrate Earth Day with us during the month of April! Join us as we commit to sustainable practices each week. Follow us on social media and share pictures of how you take care of our beautiful mother earth!

Week 1 (April 1-7): Food impacts more than your health. It impacts the environment, animals and people. What you eat, where it comes from, and how it was produced contributes to your FoodPrint — think of it like a carbon footprint, but for food.

Week 2 (April 8-14): Reduce consumption and waste production, Reuse items multiple times to avoid disposal, and Recycle materials to create new products. Click here for creative ideas to turn everyday recyclable items into fun projects.

Week 3 (April 15-21): Did you know, even when you aren’t using items that are plugged in, it still uses energy? Unplug your electronics and get
