NM Brujos and Sisters Keep ABQ Clean in 2021

Earth Day 2021 is tomorrow, April 22nd, a day set aside to recognize the effect we have on our environment and things we can do to lessen our impact. The New Mexico Brujos and their friends the Atomic Sisters have been exemplifying the ideals of Earth Day all year long. Earlier this season the Brujos, with cooperation for the city, officially adopted USS Bullhead park in an effort to give back to the community in which they live work and play. all year long the Brujos, with help from the sisters have scheduled clean up efforts at Bullhead in a simple effort to keep their little slice of ABQ clean. However, you don’t need to be a member of the Brujos or sisters or wait for one of their clean up event to pitch in and help keep ABQ beautiful.
