Earth Day kicks off
early in Newport-Mesa
Mother Nature gave herself an early Earth Day present Saturday,
treating her plants, shrubs and creatures to an April shower while
many gathered to promote a healthy and clean environment.
Earth Day is officially observed on Thursday; however, local
events were held this weekend, such as the event on the UC Irvine
Campus.
The celebration at UCI included dozens of nonprofit organizations,
display booths and interactive activities to promote awareness of
environmental protection.
Of special interest was the Dionysus Film Festival booth that took
its audience on a journey from the first electrical car, manufactured
in 1931, to the future of voltage vehicles such as the T-Zero
Electric sports car.
