Eugene goes all out for Earth Day. While some cities are satisfied after only
one measly day, April 22, spent giving Earth its due, Eugeneans spread
the holiday out over a whole weekend. Organizers of UO’s Earth Week take
it a step further. And though the geocentric fun is coming to an end this
weekend, the folks behind Earth Week saved some of the best for last: noon
Thursday, April 21, at UO's EMU Amphitheater, check out "A Toxic Love Story,"
a mock wedding ceremony which signifies the UO Foundation’s undying love
for Big Oil. Stick around for climate activism workshops and a solar powered
concert. See uoregon.edu/events for a full rundown of Earth Week activities.

the party goes from 10 am to 4 pm and features kids activities, prize give-
aways and local vendors. BRING’s Earth Day Birthday Party runs 11 am to
