ECO-BUS STARTS MONTH-LONG BROWNSVILLE EARTH FEST
Brownsville’s cutting edge bright-blue eco-bus launches
Brownsville Earth Fest on Saturday, March 26. Running on bio-diesel made from discarded vegetable oil, this creation of the Brownsville-based Rio Bravo Wildlife Institute is attaching solar panels and other eco-energy production to a vintage school bus.

The bright-blue eco-bus will park at Brownsville Farmers’ Market on Saturday, March 26 to begin an earth fest that will end at the University of Texas’ Brownsville campus on Earth Day, Thursday, April 21, 9am-1pm, where the bus will join an eco-film fest and other free eco-attractions on campus.

The signature Brownsville Earth Fest event happens Saturday April 16 at Linear Park, 9am-1pm, featuring the eco-bus, Brownsville Farmers’ Market, eco-art market, live music, and prepared food including famous olive-oil tamales.

A healthy kids' cook off April 2 and a chalk art festival April 9  round out the earth friendly line-up.
