CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clear Lake Campus of Yuba College will celebrate Earth Day 2015 on Wednesday, April 22.

The Earth Day event at the Clear Lake Campus will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., offering booths, entertainment, and resources to educate and inform the community on environmental, ecological and educational issues related to Earth Day. 

“I am excited to bring our community together around this day,” said student organizer Danielle Stennet. “A Cree Indian Proverb inspired me, ‘Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.’”

The US government Web site says, “Earth Day is a time to celebrate gains we have made and create new visions to accelerate environmental progress. Earth Day is a time to unite around new actions. Earth Day and every day is a time to act to protect our planet.” 

“I am excited to invite our community to celebrate Earth Day and focus on our environment,” said Associated Student Body President Ruby Tu.

Live music will be performed during the event by a full and varied line up of talented students as well as instructors Doug and Sissa Harris.

The award-winning culinary program will sell lunch and provide information and tours of the “green restaurant.” There will be a full menu available inside the restaurant as well as a take-out menu outdoors.

Activities involving baking with solar ovens, free raffle drawings and flower planting will take place.

Information booths include Lake County Sierra Club, Lake County Land Trust, Jonas Energy Solutions, Anderson Marsh, Solar City, Vector Control, Konocti Trails, Environmental Protection Agency, C & S Waste Solutions, Lake County Co-op, Master Gardeners and more. 

The community is invited to attend this on campus event.
