SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) The Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival filled Alameda Park on Saturday.
The cherished community event is one of the longest running Earth Day celebrations in the country.
The Community Environmental Council organized the first in 1970, following the 1969 oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara.
In addition to live music, people enjoyed a Green Car Show and more than a dozen information booths.
The nonprofit ShelterBox USA showcased a tent and supplies used by disaster survivors all over the world.
"We are looking at ways to reduce climate impact, so when we bring our aid, we're trying to have local production, local purchasing, so we reduce the carbon footprint, looking at materials that could be recycled or reduced and used in the reused plastics arena," said ShelterBox V.P. of Development Matthew Saxton.
Sydney Rouse of the Santa Barbara Air Pollution Control District said the Green Car Show has some unique vehicles on display.
" We have Marborg's first ever 100% electric trash truck. This is huge. There's only a few of these across the nation, and they're just testing it out to see how it can fit in within our community. With gas prices being so high, people are really interested to see what's out there, how they can save money," said Rouse.
Glen Stewart of Skyhook said their crew came all the way from Colorado to take part in the Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival.
"Skyhook is a green energy company and we offer electric car chargers like this to get this here, we came from Colorado and we towed it with an electric vehicle all the way from Colorado to really highlight the portability, that we're completely electric coming all the way, 1000 miles out to California. People are really excited about it, seeing, you know, that there is a there is a solar option that is portable and can be put in place quickly without the construction," said Stewart.
The festival's Environmental Hero Awards take place at noon on Sunday.
