The 13th annual Earth Day at the J sponsored by AES Indiana and Citizens Energy Group will take place on Sunday, May 4, from 1-4 pm. This ultimate demonstration of eco-friendly living, expected to attract thousands of people of all backgrounds and faiths to the J's 40-acre campus, features over 40 organizations with demonstrations and hands-on activities to educate and inform attendees.

A core Jewish value is tikkun olam, Hebrew for repairing the world or making the world a better place. It implies that each person has a hand in working toward the betterment of his/her own existence as well as the lives of future generations. It is natural for the JCC Indianapolis to celebrate Earth Day as a signature event for the organization and for the Indianapolis community.

Highlights this year:

• All your favorite earth-friendly organizations will be here with interactive demonstrations and hands-on Earth Day activities centered around sustainability and going green.
• Arts with a Purpose will have hands-on visual activities for children of all ages.
• Farmers Market / Vendor Village
• Food trucks, including kosher option (corn dogs from Zalman's in Chicago!)
