April is shaping up to be our busiest time yet for DTE. In the spirit of Earth Day, you’ll find an unprecedented amount of local environmental coverage this month, so get ready. In case you’ve missed “DTE Watch!” a new feature on our main page, check it out. It’s full of site news and upcoming events. Right now, here’s what you would see:

"Look in The Spokesman-Review Saturday, April 4 for the April edition of Down to Earth Monthly! Readers will find a preview of many community Earth Day events through the region, and a closer look at Jace Bylenga, a longtime advocate for the planet and the coordinator of many of the people and businesses interested in helping out!"

"The second issue of Down to Earth NW publishes Saturday April 18 – the semi-annual glossy magazine hits homes, businesses, newsstands, coffee shops and many other locations. The spring issue gives readers a closer look about how area schools are helping older and younger students understand and appreciate the world around them."

"Check the Down to Earth calendar April 19-26 or Spokane's Earth Week for a guide to all the week long Earth events happening during our local Earth Week."

"Come down to Riverfront Park and the site of Expo '74 Sunday April 26 for the Earth Day celebration. Along with all sorts of entertainment and education, you'll be able to meet with many agencies and individuals. Stop by Down to Earth’s booth to learn more about what we’re doing."



On the last event, Bart and I will be your tour guides for a day in the park, walking and talking visitors through a little Expo history, and connecting the environmental theme of yesteryear to the current momentum that we see locally today.

We might even install solar panels on the familiar train at Riverfront Park (and make a detour for O'Doherty's). We feel this is good for Spokane.
