The 2015 Earth Day Fair & Music Festival will take place on Sunday, April 19 from 10 am to 5 pm at El Chorro Regional Park, home of San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden. This is a free, all ages welcome, event. In recognition of this milestone, Earth Day Alliance, Inc., the coordinator, has partnered with KSBY-TV to promote Earth Day county-wide.

Nationally, 2015 marks forty-five years since the very first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. Originally intended to raise awareness and change how we, the U.S., dealt with pollution, pesticides, and oil spills in the 60s, Earth Day is now recognized world-wide. Today the emphasis is on how each person can make a difference. That is why the Earth Day Alliance is asking children, teens and adults of all ages, organizations: non-profits, businesses, government agencies, clubs, schools, churches, etc. throughout San Luis Obispo County to take action and be part of the solution.

Be the change, get involved. To learn more visit the website: www.earthdayslo.org, call 544-8529 or email: earthdayslo@gmail.com.
