A WALK for a cause, to be followed by a mini-concert, will be held on Tuesday, April 24 in observance of Earth Day.

Officer-in-charge Leduina Co of the provincial environment and natural resources office said the Alay Lakad Para sa Kalikasan will pass thru the main thoroughfare of Dagupan City. The activity starts at 7 a.m.

A short program to include a mini-concert follows at the People’s Astrodome. Singer Gary Granada is expected to attend, she said.

Co said the activity aims to generate awareness and support among Pangasinenses for a clean and green environment. Theme of this year’s Earth Day celebration is “Stewardship in Action.”

Global warming, depletion of resources, drought, floods and other calamities threaten the Earth’s existence because of greed and carefree behavior of some people, she noted in a letter sent to would-be participants and agency partners.

Earth Day is observed annually to draw consciousness and participation among people for the protection and conservation of Mother Earth, she said.
