ur Earth Day theme this year is "Make
the Connections." Like the connection between turning on your light
switch and the impact of where the power comes from. The connection between
what we buy and the waste we generate -- and where it goes. Between clean
air, clean water and the food we eat. Between problems and solutions.
This April, make the connection between
your commitment to a clean, healthy environment and the actions you take
by volunteering with EarthWorks. Our premier event, EarthFair '99 in Balboa
Park, attracts more than 200 exhibitors and 60,000 visitors -- and is created
by about 400 volunteers. Our VIP Reception and EARTH Awards honor individuals
and organizations that have made a special difference for our environment
and quality of life. Our Community Restoration and Renewal projects are
hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work restorations of some of our
county's few remaining natural areas.
Find out about these and other opportunities
by attending one of our 1999 Volunteer Introductions. We'll show you our
cool EarthFair slide show, tell you about our current projects, and answer
all your questions. Our next volunteer introduction meetings are:
