On the April 12 edition of the Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call, host Rick Moore opens with a conversation with Ari Daniels of the Earth Week Eco-Fair, scheduled for this coming Saturday, April 18, at the Charlottesville Pavilion, a free event spreading knowledge about how to repair and conserve our environment, with green-minded businesses, government organizations, conservationist societies, local food producers, natural health care practitioners, along with live music, speakers, children’s activities, and more.
