This Sunday, Abt is hosting a huge celebration of Earth Day, and we’d like to invite everyone who is interested in improving the environment to join us in a variety of fun events, taking place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in and around our store. Among the eco-friendly activities will be:
-
- 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Representatives from The Grove nature center will present various animals and discuss animal safety and the importance of watching out for our furry friends.
- 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Glenview Cycle employees will be in our parking lot to perform bicycle tune-ups, put air in tires, and offer bicycle safety tips. Glenview Police officers also will be on hand to talk about bicycle safety.
- 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Abt Recycling Center: recycle all of your old electronics at no charge.
- 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Kids, bring in cans, plastic, and paper for recycling and sign up to win an Pod Shuffle.
