Earth Day 2008 - a great celebration!

Earth Day 2008 offered Houstonians a free, family event with opportunities to learn about earth-friendly products from local companies and organizations, find out about recycling opportunities in Houston and have fun with activities such as face-painting and making crafts from recycled materials. Some of the day's activities included:

  • Locally Grown compost and mulch sale
  • Organic Produce Market
  • Live music
  • Refreshments
  • Kids Zip line
  • Mascots: HANC the Owl, Lucky Ladybug and ReUseIt Wisely!
