Green Fair At Red Bank Middle School To Celebrate Earth Day

RED BANK, NJ — The annual Green Fair is coming to Red Bank Middle School, just in time for Earth Day.

The Borough of Red Bank Environmental Commission/Green Team is partnering with the Red Bank Middle School this year to host the annual Green Fair on Thursday, April 20, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Middle School, 101 Harding Road.

Earth Day, first commemorated in 1970, is on April 22.

The free event will offer plenty of information promoting recycling, composting, energy alternatives and recycled materials as art.

The Middle School will be sharing students' Earth Day projects, science experiments - and there will be a "Trashion" show of clothing made from recycled items, organizers say.

Look for giveaways from various sponsors, too.

The event teaches students about the environment - and helps them develop sustainable skills and habits they can use in adulthood, organizers say.
