2010 EARTH DAY
ZERO WASTE FESTIVAL
FREE Fun For All Ages!
Come celebrate with us at Alameda’s EARTH DAY ZERO WASTE FESTIVAL! Zero Waste is a new way of thinking about the products we consume in terms of its life cycle to minimize waste. This philosophy supports product redesign so that all products are considered a resource when it is no longer considered useful in its current life.
Enjoy FREE activities for the kids, Earth Day games and exhibits and learn about building a clean, healthy, sustainable world for generations to come.
