In a fast-moving world of mass production and synthetic fixes, three Waco small businesses — Penelope Pickers Vintage, Cottontail Jones and Granddaddy Willow — are choosing a more mindful path. Centered on sustainability, healing and the power of community, these businesses also highlight the value of recycled and resold goods, encouraging customers to reconnect with the earth, their well-being and more intentional ways of living.

If you’re in Waco for the Easter break and are looking for some fun, here is your ultimate guide. Spice up your weekend by grabbing a friend and enjoying some night hiking, an Earth Day carnival and an Easter egg hunt in Seley Park.

This Saturday the Cameron Park Zoo will teach visitors about stewardship of the Earth, and specifically about how to protect a “Baylor” bear.

The zoo is celebrating Earth Day with its annual zoo event, Beasts ’N Blooms & Earth Day Too, and this year will have a special focus on the zoo’s black bears in honor of Baylor and a bear awareness week celebrated by members of the Black Bear Conservation Coalition in Texas.
