The earth is in our hands.
This past weekend was Earth Day, which my town celebrates with a big festival in the park. All are welcome to enjoy the huge celebration and meander around the lined up booths of face painting, yummy food, and of course, learning how to stay green! The grass is filled with the most down-to-earth crowds of Santa Barbara, all barefoot and wearing flower bands around their heads. Everyone is hugging trees and swaying to the music that plays throughout the festival.
My dance company swayed to our own beats as we performed in front of the huge sea of people basking in the sun. It didn’t go the best that it could’ve, but it was still a fun time…but because of our performance I didn’t get to stay as long as I would have liked! I managed to capture just a few neat souls. I really wish I could have enjoyed the festivities just a bit longer, Earth Day has always been one of my favorites. I’d say I’m an extremely “green” person, and it’s so frustrating how many people don’t care at all about our environment! Hopefully this event encouraged the idea that everyone needs to go green!
Enjoy
