If you haven’t been out there yet, go visit Downtown Houston’s Discovery Green park. This past Saturday, they had a fantastic Earth Day celebration featuring many Houston area environmental groups that focused on educating our community. Bill White, our great mayor was there to help celebrate the parks one year anniversary and to challenge all Houstonians to care for their environment.
Not only on Earth Day, but everyday, Discovery Green is a perfect example of a public space that is focused on its own sustainability. All of the Houston area park’s facilities are self sustainable and a great example of what a city can do if it is serious about the environment.
We encourage everyone to do something special for Earth Day this month and to visit Discovery Green in Downtown Houston. Learn more about this great venue at: http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=resources/lifestyle_community/community/events&id=6755995&rss=rss-ktrk-article-6755995

i think this is a good effort on the part of the city of houston because big events like this can really motivate people. expecially when there’s a big crowd and a lot of activities, its sort of like a pep rally. so yeah, cool =]

Discovery Green is actually a great place to visit, when you go, you see the amazing things the community of Houston built in Downtown. I think it would be great idea of the green debate team took a field trip to Discovery Green for the people that haven’t viisited Discovery Green! Sounds like a great idea!

I think that it is great that more places are being built to raise awareness about he enviornment. Places like Discovery Green can help people how important it is to care about the enviornment. As more places like Discovery Green are built, ther more awareness about he enviornment spreads.
