2010 Celebration
April 17, 2008 | Theme: "Reduce"
 2010's theme was “Reduce”. It was chosen in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the first Earth Day in 1970.
It was time to get back to the basics — and what better way than to start at the beginning of the cycle...reduce. “Reduce” is the first word listed for a reason: if we can all reduce then we would have less to reuse, recycle, and throw away. We also want to bring attention to the problem of trash (mainly plastic) that is collecting in gyres in each of the Earth’s oceans. We had information about this subject at the event, but if you would like to learn more now, visit www.algalita.org.
2009 Celebration
April 26, 2008 | Theme: "How Do You Get Around?"
 In 2009, the Earth Day theme was “How Do You Get Around?”. The theme was chosen in an effort to raise awareness for our choices in transportation both locally and nationally. It was great to see attendees riding bikes, walking, driving their electric cars and even skateboarding to the event. Free shuttle service to and from the event also helped to emphasize how we can all make a difference with our transportation choices.

2008 Celebration
April 21, 2008 | Theme: "Trees Please"
 In 2008, the Earth Day theme “Trees Please” was chosen to inspire residents to learn more about our local canopy cover, and how it has changed over the last 30 years. Hugh MacRae Park (as always) was a perfect venue for the theme and the event. The trees in the park offered perfect shady areas for attendees to relax.
