Amador County – The city of Jackson plans a “Clean It & Green It” event Saturday (April 24th) at Detert Park in downtown Jackson. Jackson City Manager Mike Daly and the city council bring back the annual Earth Day event to encourage citizens to help clean the city park in a fun environment. Daly said last week that the Earth Day Clean It & Green It Celebration “promises to be a fun-filled day at Detert Park for the whole family.” The “Clean It” portion of the event is the city of Jackson’s annual litter clean-up from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday. Daly said the “litter clean-up day has been an annual event in Jackson and is intended to serve as a spring clean-up for the entire city.” The event, formerly known as the “Clean Our Green”, invites volunteers to participate in the clean-up, although “all the spots in the previously announced Disney Give a Day, Get a Day promotion are full.” Daly said the “Green It” portion of the fair is a celebration of Earth Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. He said many community organizations will be participating in the “Green It” fair with demonstrations, special projects, and other activities intended to increase awareness of positive “earth-friendly” habits, recycling and energy use. He said the theme of the entire event is intended to compliment Earth Day activities throughout the world. Also, an “E-waste Collection Event” will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the old Prospect Motors lot directly across the street from Detert Park on Highway 49 and 88. It is billed as a “safe and environmentally friendly way to recycle all of your old electronics with 100 percent of all donations benefiting the Argonaut High School Science Club.” Items that will be accepted include TVs, monitors, computers, computer peripherals, cell phones, printers, copiers, fax machines, audio-video equipment and microwaves. All are invited, and encouraged to “bring a picnic and enjoy a unique and pleasant day at Detert Park celebrating Earth Day.” Music will be provided by a band that has local roots and is on the verge of becoming white hot: Hero’s Last Mission. HLM, as they are known, has been touring the western United States and has a huge following on Myspace. The primary organizers of this first-of-its-kind event include the city of Jackson, Bank of Amador, Amador Mobility Management, Farms of Amador, Amador Community Foundation, Argonaut High School Science Club and the Amador County Waste Management and Recycling Department.
