Earth Day Celebration

Yesterday I spent all day at Earth Jam, where the Desert Greens, the Nationally Affiliated Green Party of Utah, held its Green Earth Fest. Our main activity was a children’s table where children (of all ages!) made bracelets out of cut cardboard tubes, hats, molded things out of clay, made bubbles with a homemade bubble mix, and hula-hooped!

There were two areas – our area (Green Earth Fest)with children’s activities and a stage and the main area where there was another stage and exhibitor booths.

It was beautiful and fun day. We had lots of folks come by our table to get literature, talk and sign up for our mailing list. We had a reduce, reuse, recycle area where we had rummage sale items for donations.

We even got time to speak on the main stage about our party. Here are photos:

Speaking to the crowd – Shane Cutler, a Co-Coordinator with the Desert Greens Green Party of Utah, speaks to the Earth Jam crowd about Earth Day and how it is up to we the people to “clean up our own messes. The government isn’t cleaning up its messes and” his kids will be billed for it. Shane stated that the Green Party wants to change electoral politics so that the government does clean up its messes and so his kids kids won’t have to keep paying for it. Shown with Shane are his children, Michael and Eli.
