It’s been 48 years since the first Earth Day celebrations took place in 1970. This year’s community-run Earth Day Pasadena event is brought to you by local environmental groups, organizations and community members who are working to revive the tradition of Earth Day in Pasadena, a tradition that is needed now more than ever to increase awareness about thinking globally and acting locally to live more sustainably.
Saturday’s Earth Day event will feature art, live music, activities, workshops and demonstrations on water-wise gardening and practices, strategies for reducing waste including food-waste, how to support renewable energy and green transportation options. The participating organizations invite you to learn more and share your vision for a more environmentally friendly city and planet, spread awareness about local efforts to #HEALthePLANET and live in a #HEALTHePLANET in 2018.
