Earth Day started in Santa Barbara, CA after the 1970 catastrophic beach oil spill and has quickly spread to a global celebration honoring Mother Earth. This weekend's 42nd annual Earth Day festival featured many vendors offering creative ideas to save our natural resources and live more simply with less carbon footprint. Reduce, Recycle, Reuse was the mantra for the two day event. Education and awareness were cleverly promoted to children and adults alike as at this Fish Wish Booth by
stayseamermaid.com. Smiling children lined-up to take a photo with this beautiful mermaid while they colored and learned about endangered sea life.
