Chula Vista will hold South Bay’s largest free and family-friendly Earth Day celebration to help build awareness on how to practice healthy habits of sustainability and your impact on the planet with interactive activities.
South Bay Earth Day will be hosted on April 9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Memorial Park, which will show people how to lead an environmentally friendly lifestyle. Over 40 vendors will be at this zero-waste event in addition to a showcase of eco-conscious products, programs, and hands-on green activities geared toward education, conservation, recycling, and sustainability.
Attendees can find “Learn To” workshops as Zero-waste living, Food Waste Tips, and Tricks, Ask the Recycler, and Electrifying Your Home.
