• "Earth Tales," co-sponsored with The Library of Congress, features environmentally-themed story time, read by VIPs hourly. Saturday 11-4.
• "Bash the Trash" will be an exciting opportunity for kids to build musical instruments from trash and recycled materials and create an “earth symphony.” Sunday 10-3.
• "Eco Art" is co-hosted by the Capital Hill Arts Workshop and invites kids to paint an earth-friendly image on a post card, and mail it from the event courtesy of the Post Office and their new “Go Green” stamp launch. Both days.
