Celebrate Fairfield's Earth Day on May 8th

by Eileen Weber

If preserving the planet is something you care about, stop by Fairfield Warde High School on May 8th for Fairfield’s annual Earth Day Celebration. From 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., there will be exhibits, lectures, lots of music, and activities for the kids. 



Are you a bee lover? Have they got something for you! There will be a demonstration from the Backyard Beekeeper’s Association. Learn fun facts about honey, beeswax, pollination, and more.



This year, General Electric will be a key sponsor. This Fairfield-based company is a diversified infrastructure, finance and media company taking on the world's toughest challenges. From aircraft engines and power generation to financial services, health care solutions and television programming, GE operates in more than 100 countries and employs about 300,000 people worldwide. 


Fairfield’s own Catch A Healthy Habit as well as Easton-based Skinny Pines and their portable wood-brick oven will be there to offer wholesome goodies made from local and organic ingredients. The Home Depot, one of our biggest supporters to date, will have free give-aways.



Exhibitors this year will include Fairfield Green Food Guide, General Motors, Honda of Westport, and the Smart Center along with many others. They will have over 80 exhibitors this year!


If you’re in the market for a new car, Honda of Westport has a special surprise. They’ll have on display the 2010 Civic GX and the Insight Hybrid. The Civic boasts partial zero emissions fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG) while the Insight displays a funky ECON button that, when pushed, automatically helps your car to drive more efficiently. Come see what they’re all about!



Fairfield’s Earth Day Committee is made up of a cross-section of those who live and work in Fairfield: town government, members of the Department of Public Works, the Board of Education, teachers, students, and interested citizens from the immediate and neighboring communities.



With a growing awareness of global warming and its associated environmental, health, financial and moral issues, we could not think of a better time to join us.

 Fairfield’s Earth Day Celebration began in 1999 to observe environmental issues and solutions, just like the first Earth Day in 1970. Made possible by contributions from The Home Depot Foundation, Piaggio Vespa, Maritime Motors, Star 99.9 and other green businesses and volunteers, Fairfield is a leader in action and advocacy for a happier, healthier community.
