Here are some family activities you can do to foster environmentalism. Sponsored by Sony.
Very few events are celebrated around the globe, but Earth Day is. This year, it’s come and gone. But we’re here to ask: What can we do to show our love of the earth on that day, and every day? On May 31, Sony will release After Earth, an action-packed movie that takes place 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity to leave. It’s the kind of scenario that makes you want to donate to Greenpeace, recycle everything, and start biking every where, immediately. So, in honor of Earth Day, Patch has teamed up with Sony to present these ideas for making every day Earth Day. How can we make every day Earth Day? Begin with little things. Easy things. Obvious things. Things we take for granted each day, and use and/or abuse because of …

April Fools Day is one of the trickiest days of the year. How do you celebrate April 1?
April 1 is my dad's favorite holiday. Yes, it is a holiday to him. How else would you describe a day where you can put a loved one on edge simply because they know you like to pull pranks.

Here are a few of the best pranks my dad has managed to pull off over the years: Of course, there are plenty of pranks you can view online. Huffington Post rounded up some of the best pranks of the year.

This week, Patch readers sounded off on the circus, graffiti, bagels and restaurants cleanliness. Here's what your neighbors are saying: Towson: “I was there, and it was an awful experience. Seeing him everyday running, and so vibrant and healthy, and then this morning he was in such bad shape. Again thank goodness for the wonderful doctors who were immediately helping him, and who thankfully were nearby when he was struck. As a runner myself it hits me in the gut, and I have been thinking of the good doc all day. Here's to you doc. A speedy recovery for you is all I am thinking about right now.” – Sallie Sweeney on Jogging Doctor Highly Regarded Among Colleagues Perry Hall: “Well, being a Perry Hall resident, I care if they (or anything …

Since 2000, the leadership of Baltimore County has rightly recognized the importance of libraries through a series of important investments.
I had the opportunity to tour the new Owings Mills Library Branch last week, in my role as a member of the Baltimore County Board of Library Trustees. This 54,000 square foot facility—which can house upwards of nearly 150,000 items—will be the 19th branch of the Baltimore County Public Library (BCPL). The library opened to the public last Thursday, and a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled to take place this week. The Owings Mills branch, at over 54,000 square feet, will be the largest and most most technologically advanced location in the system. The branch is situated within the larger "County Campus at Metro Center," a shared use facility with the Community College of Baltimore County. Even more unique is the branch's close …
Baltimore-area Patch readers speak their minds.
This week, Patch readers took to the comment streams to defend police captains in trouble, discuss the future of a historic property and talk about dog bits. Here’s what your neighbors are saying: Hunt Valley-Cockeysville: "The whole point is to NOT FLUSH THEM down the toilet. We have a big issue where our sewage treatment plants cannot take the medications out of the sludge, and then it goes on into the bay and our water table, and wreaks havoc on fish. Just do a web search on anti-depressants and fish." – Tony Gostomski via Facebook on Cockeysville Precinct Serves as Drop Off for DEA Program Catonsville: "I believe that Catonsville has a moral responsibility to preserve the history of the people who lived at Spring Grove. It would be …

Wednesday is National Proposal Day and Patch wants to know how your proposal went, or how your dream proposal would go.
Wednesday is Proposal Day. This one seems like it may be more dreamt up by the jewelry stores than by Hallmark, right? Seriously though: this holiday does exist. As Huffington Post tells it: "A man named John Michael O'Loughlin invented the holiday after his cousin's boyfriend strung her along for years without sealing the deal decades ago, Holidash says. Enough already, he thought, and dedicated a day to marriage proposals." We'd love to hear your proposal stories—maybe it was romantic, funny or a disaster, or maybe it just hasn't happened yet. Let us know. Did you or your significant other tie in the community of Owings Mills or Reisterstown with your proposal? And if you're planning to propose tomorrow, let us know, too—email sean.welsh…
