Earth Day 2014

The City of Mission Viejo will mark Earth Day 2014 on Sat., April 26, 2014 by planting the slopes on Avery Parkway between Marguerite and the Arroyo Trabuco Golf Course.  

Volunteers are needed from 8 am to Noon to plant trees and shrubs, plus clean-up litter.   Anyone of any age can participate and plant one and five galloon plants as well as 15 galloon trees.

In addition, a Green Expo will be held at Coronado Park, 26652 Las Ondas Dr, MV 92692.   It will feature environmental exhibits, earthly crafts, recycling and conservation tips.   Free hotdogs and ice cream will be served while supplies last.

Going Green doesn’t mean you have to be a tree hugger or a Green Snob, but with summer approaching it means higher energy use and costs.  We need to conserve electricity and water during hot days to maintain service reliability and minimize emergency outages.   Small changes can make a huge difference in our efforts to protect our environment, our city and our planet. 

 Join us for this fun interactive event and create an Earth Day Promise Tree that will be made of clay, copper and recycled wood.
