Organic in the City

Organic in the City is an urban environmental education and entertainment series at Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park. The program is geared toward urbanites near Downtown Dallas and surrounding areas who crave a little more ‘green’ in their lives.

Guests will get behind-the-scenes look at the gardens (including an exciting look at our reconstruction of the Rosine Smith Sammons Butterfly House and Insectarium). Hors d’oeuvres and light refreshments will be provided.

With the phase-out of incandescent lighting and consumer’s increased awareness of the green movement, compact fluorescent lights (CFLS) are being used in more residences. The secret dangers of these energy saving lamps is their mercury and lead content. Come learn safe use, handling, and recycling of CFLS in order to protect our children and environment.

Allison A. King, Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (Masters Level), VP of Sales and Marketing of Environmental Light Recyclers. ELR is a full-service recycling and services company specializing in the processing of all lighting materials (lamps and ballasts) as well as batteries, electronics and mercury containing articles.

Cornell Kinderknecht will perform on World Flutes.
