Throughout the month of April, KLRN will air a number of programs relating to Earth Month and the environment. This is a moment to help preserve and sustain our Earth by making small changes in our lives like recycling, picking up litter, planting a tree, or even visiting a national park. Our month-long line-up is a great start to not only learn, but help educate one another. Let's invest in our planet!
Support for KLRN's Earth Month has been generously provided by Big Sun Solar, Headwaters at the Comal, National Parks Conservation Association in Texas, OCI Solar Power, Pharm Table, San Antonio Climate Ready/Office of Sustainability, San Antonio River Authority, and The Nature Conservancy
