This year, Thursday, April 22, marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. In response to environmental degradation, including the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson started the holiday in 1970. This world-wide event celebrates the natural environment, bringing awareness to the modern environmental movement which promotes green energy, green jobs, a green economy, and green thinking. In celebration of this year’s Earth Day, the Santa Barbara community will be having a festival in Alameda Park on Saturday, April 17, from eleven o’clock AM to seven o’clock PM, and on Sunday, April 18, from eleven o’clock AM to five o’clock PM. Also, Isla Vista is hosting a festival on Saturday, April 24, in Anisq’oyo Park from noon to 6 o’ clock PM. The events will include local bands, vendors, and activities that show appreciation for the environment. So come out and join Cali Green in showing your support for the Earth and living green. Hope to see you all there!
