The City of Foster City Celebrates Earth Day at Off the Grid!

For Immediate Release: April 20, 2018
Contact: Vanessa Brannon, Management Analyst, vbrannon@fostercity.org, 650-286-3354

On Wednesday, April 25th, City of Foster City Staff will be joining Off the Grid at Leo J. Ryan to celebrate Earth Day. This year’s Earth Day theme is “End Plastic Pollution.” City Staff will be hosting a booth at Off the Grid to educate the community about the plastic pollution problem, how it affects our environment and our health, and what we can do to address it.

Every minute, the equivalent of a truckload of plastic waste ends up in the ocean, and the problem has been getting worse. However, the global community has begun to take notice, and together, we can begin to take action. Learn more about Earth Day at www.earthday.org.

In addition to providing information and helpful tips on how to reduce your plastic consumption, the City will be holding a raffle for six (6) useful Eco-Hero kits! The Eco-Hero kits will be filled with reusable gear that will make ditching plastic much easier, and include other bonus prizes. Stop by our booth at Off the Grid from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM on Wednesday, April 25 at beautiful Leo J. Ryan Park to enter the raffle and learn how you can get plastic out of your life.
