Modesto's 2011Earth Day in the Park was a great success!
With the cooperation of great weather, several thousand
people strolled through the park throughout the day
visiting vendor booths, enjoying the free entertainment
in the Mancini Bowl and sampling great food.
The Boyett Petroleum "B Green Recycling Event " event
drew a total of 204 vehicles who donated 1.68 tons of
e-waste and plastic and tons of paper. All materials
were recycled and the dollars were matched by Boyett
Petroleum in support of Modesto’s first dog park. Also,
Friends of Modesto Dog Park raised over $5,000 for the
pending project! Maybe best of all, 7 dogs and 5 cats
were adopted from the shelters to new homes throughout
the day!
The free bike corral was widely used and riders were
invited to enter to win free ticket books to the Modesto
Nuts.
Approximately 300 lbs of organic waste was collected
from the food vendor area. It was sent to the city’s
compost facility for processing.
The 2011 Earth Day in the Park theme was "What
Footprint? That’s Earth Day!” Attendees learned about
the many ways they can reduce their carbon footprint in
our community by making simple changes to their everyday
lifestyle.
