Special Activities and Events Planned for April to Celebrate “Earth Month” in the City of Melbourne
Protecting the environment is so important that the City of Melbourne is not limiting Earth Day to a one-day event. Instead, “Earth Month” will be celebrated throughout April with activities for kids and adults.
April 3 & 4: Trash Bash
The City’s annual Trash Bash event had to be postponed last year last year due to COVID-19. This year it will be held as a virtual event, where individuals, families, or small groups (fewer than 10 people) can hold cleanups on April 3-4. Volunteers will use the KBB app to register, check-in, and submit data. For the City of Melbourne to receive credit for clean-ups, participants must select the Trash Bash Initiative in the app. More information is available on the Keep Brevard Beautiful website.
April 5-9: Flat Todd’s Environmental Adventures
Join Flat Todd in celebrating Earth Month 2021. Design your own Flat Todd and take pictures of him doing 10 different earth-friendly activities. Submit your pictures by April 9 to EarthMonth@mlbfl.org. For a template and ideas, go to our Flat Todd's Environmental Adventures page.
April 12-16: Earth Day Bingo
Participants will be able to download and print out their own Earth Day Bingo card from the City’s website. They will then complete five environmental activities in a row, column or diagonally. Email photos of yourself doing the activities and the completed bingo card to EarthMonth@mlbfl.org.
April 19-23: Earth Month Creative Writing Contest
