Setting up in the a.m.  The conscientious folks at EarthDay L.A. gave us a booth across from Urban Outfitters, and right in front of the architecturally-rich Lowe's Cineplex Broadway movie theatre (the old El Miro).  This was our first Earth Day booth.  We learned a lot about bio-diesel from neighbor Collette Brooks of the Green Depot, a local bio-diesel organization.

  Busy environmentalist Lee Wallach (on the right with solar

backpack) was our first customer of the day...  he poses here

with our second customer who was going to give his RV battery

 a boost with our solar charger.

 Mid-Day at Earth Day L.A. - The Segue to Solar worker at the booth lost count

how many times he was asked, "How many hours does it take to charge my

cell phone with the backpack?"  

 Earth Day Facts

April 22, the 20th anniversary of the first Earth Day, when millions of people participate in events ranging from neighborhood cleanups to visiting a local event. Back in 1970, a huge march on Washington was organized and, as a result, the Environmental Protection Agency was born, and the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts were signed. Some of the facts may differ, we have found, and if you have any more exact info about Earth Day, e-mail it to us. To learn what Earth Day activities are planned for your area, use your world wide web search engine to see what your community has planned. Remember the spirit of Earth Day: you have the power to go plant a tree (with your community's permission of course), recycle, write a letter to a corporation to tell them to pack boxes with Styrofoam-free materials, and the list goes on and on. If you have an idea for your community write to us and we'll print it.
