Held on the grounds of the Museum of Natural Sciences, it will be an engaging spring afternoon in downtown Raleigh with:
– Performances by the Junk Music Man (plays over 200 pieces of trash!)
– The 8th Annual Sustainable Design Competition
– Presentation by speakers from Al Gore’s Climate Registry
– A Burt’s Bees mobile tour experience and warehouse gift sale
– Local bands play throughout the day
– Kids activities with the Scrap Exchange
