Celebrate Earth Day at Squaw Valley
Tahoe.com
Take giant steps toward smaller footprints April 26 at the sixth annual Earth Day Festival at the Village at Squaw Valley USA. Sign the kids up to participate in the Eco Parade check out the Earth Capades Planetary Circus, Haute Trash Fashion Show, Patagonia's Wild and Scenic Film Festival and more.
The sixth annual North Lake Tahoe Truckee Earth Day Festival is officially set for Saturday, April 26, 2008 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with music continuing until 6 p.m. at the Village at Squaw Valley USA.
The theme for this year’s event is Giant Steps Towards Smaller Footprints, and will focus on ways to reduce our impacts to combat climate change. The event is free with a multitude of activities and is suitable for all ages.
North Lake Tahoe Truckee Earth Day has become the largest environmental event in the region, combining world class musical entertainment, thought provoking speakers and over 50 booths featuring non profit organizations, local, state and federal agency representatives and green businesses. The Earth Day event provides an opportunity to learn about recycling/composting, alternative energy, sustainability, watershed and forest health, reducing our carbon footprints and more.
Earth Day 2008 will strive to be a Zero Waste event. Zero Waste is a new way of looking at our waste stream. Instead of seeing used materials as garbage in need of disposal, discards are seen as valuable resources. A pile of "trash" represents jobs, financial opportunity, and raw material for new products. Typical trash receptacles will not be available during the Earth Day event, in an effort to drastically minimize waste. Booth participants are requested to minimize handouts and implement other forms of waste reduction. All food vendors will be using biodegradable take-out containers made of either paper or PLA, a high tech starch-based plastic.
Food and biodegradable waste will be collected and composted by Full Circle Compost in Minden, Nevada. The compost will return to Sierra Nevada College’s demonstration garden in Incline Village. Facts and figures on American waste will be placed throughout the Village. A contest will be held to guess how much waste is generated the day of the event.
For the first time ever, the North Lake Tahoe Truckee Earth Day will also strive to be a Carbon Neutral event. Truckee Climate Action Network will calculate all the emissions involved in the producing the event, from the organizers first planning meeting to attendees' combined travel to and from the event, to electrical use during the event. Whatever can’t be reduced will be offset through the purchase of green tags.
