A clean home is a happy home — and that applies to the home that every human being shares, our planet. Nashville could also use some love and care. For the third straight year, local nonprofit Recycle & Reinvest is taking a weekend to clean up overlooked Black and brown neighborhoods in Nashville with its Earth Day in the Hood event. Get ready to get up early Saturday and meet at one of three locations across town (one in South Nashville, one in North Nashville and one in East Nashville). The goal is to restore public spaces and learn what building community is all about. Not only will you get to clean up the place you call home, but you can also pull up to the Nashville Public Library’s Pruitt branch for the main event. Earth Day in the Hood will continue from 12:30 to 5 p.m., sharing resources and eco-friendly activities, and throwing a sustainable fashion showcase and hip-hop performance. The weekend concludes Sunday with a private screening of B.4.L: The Environmental Justice Army — a documentary about how hip-hop, environmental justice and grassroots organizing connect — at the library’s Bordeaux branch.
