The NC Museum of Natural Sciences and Burt’s Bees are teaming up again for the second annual Planet Earth Celebration. The free event, aimed at raising awareness of the importance of environmentally responsible living, will take placerain or shine.

Visitors can turn trash into treasure at the Kids Zone; experience eco-smart shopping in the Green Bazaar, and listen to Don "The Junkman" Knaack as he jams on instruments made from 100% recycled materials. New attractions include Burt's Bees "Happy Burt Day" Bonanza Tent sale (in celebration of their 25th anniversary), Whole Foods' "Bag Out in Style" Fashion Show, and the all inclusive Trash Parade.

More than 70 stations, inside and outside the Museum, will provide valuable information on sustainable innovations available in the Triangle. The Museum will also display winning models from the 9th annual North Carolina Sustainable Design Competition, which challenges college students around our state to design a building that incorporates “green” practices in an affordable and practical way.
