Happy Earth Day, dear readers! I think you know that we here at Greening Austin Daily try to celebrate Earth Day everyday, but today is a good time to celebrate the earth and remember all the reasons why we keep on greening. How are you planning to celebrate?

Here are a few suggestions of events to go to if you feel like getting out and about:

• Earth Day at J. Black’s from 5-9pm. J. Black’s started recycling at the beginning of 2010 and have since cut their waste amount in half.  Black’s will be featuring Mojitos and celebrating with lots of prizes and giveaways (first 50 guests receive a VIP gift bag).
• Earth Day at the Belmont from 6-10 featuring eco-friendly cocktails and reusable gift bags filled with green goodies.
• Free showing of Nourish: Food + Community at Whole Foods South Lamar at 7:00.
