Celebrating Resilience

"The St. Louis Earth Day Festival has galvanized the regional environmental movement for over 30 years. It has helped develop the environmental consciousness of generations. It is a place of discovery and connection, and we weren’t prepared to give that up just because we can’t gather in Forest Park again this year!"

Virtual Programs

Wrap up Earth Week with Keynote Speaker Mary Ann Lazarus with "Resilience and the Power of Community" on April 23rd at 3pm. Resilience can mean a lot of things, from one person’s ability to withstand adversity to addressing the long-term impacts of climate change. The current pandemic is a test case of resilience that exposes the vast inequities of impacts on the most vulnerable populations. This talk will focus on the wonderful power of community to strengthen resilience so that the St. Louis region can survive, adapt and thrive in the face of a changing future.
