From farm work to heavy lifting, the Chevy Silverado is built to tackle the toughest tasks with ease.
While we should celebrate and take care of our planet every day, Earth Day is a great way to take some time and learn what you can do to help the environment. Leading up to the holiday this Sunday, Metro Detroit is celebrating Earth Day all week long with multiple events that will help you and your family discover some new recycling habits along with having some fun. Here are five metro Detroit events to check out to help your family celebrate Earth Day!

MI Earth Day Fest, one of the biggest Earth Day events in metro Detroit, takes over downtown Rochester this weekend for three days of exhibits, attractions, and family-friendly activities. The goal of the event is to highlight businesses and community organizations that make every day Earth Day, while also entertaining the whole family. The kid’s corner will be full of arts and crafts, a straw bale climb, and more exhibits just for kids. It’s a great way for all-ages to learn what they can do for the environment!
