A Celebration and an Opportunity
Alameda's Earth Day Festival is intended both as a celebration and an opportunity to learn about alternative transportation, healthy products, and ideas for sustainable living while enjoying musical entertainment, a variety of food, and a chance to win prizes.
Local business associations and other groups will line the park in festive fashion with a variety of booths, both informational and interactive.
These displays create awareness of the need to follow basic principles to create a healthy, sustainable environment.
1970 is a Long Way Back
We've come a long way since 1970 and the inception of Earth Day.
Back then, we were using leaded gasoline, there were few government air-quality standards,and the word "environment" was found mostly in spelling bees.
Our community, though, has a long history of leadership in the environmental arena. Over the past three decades, Alameda Power & Telecom has built a power resource portfolio that is now over 80% clean and renewable.
