The fourth annual Earth Day Renewable Resources Fair will take place in the Sir William Johnson Park on Main St. in Johnstown on Saturday, April 27 from noon to 2pm. The event will feature vendors, informational displays and music. It is being organized by Mothers Against
Global Warming, a special interest group of the Amsterdam-Gloversville-Johnstown branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW).
Earth Day is an annual event created to celebrate the planet’s environment and raise public awareness about pollution. The first Earth Day was on April 20, 1970. Damage done by massive oil spills in 1969 in California inspired Sen. Gaylord Nelson to organize a national teach-in focused on educating the public about the environment. The grassroots movement created public support for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and contributed to the passage of the Clean Air Act, the Water Quality Improvement Act and the Endangered Species Act.
Earth Day continues to grow. In 2000 the focus was on global warming and clean energy. On the 40th anniversary of Earth Day in 2010, a campaign was launched to plant 1 billion trees.
The Earth Day Renewable Resources Fair has been organized by concerned citizens as a reminder of the history of environmental activism and the way individuals worked together to change policy resulting in cleaner air, cleaner water, more fuel efficient cars, and development of alternate sources of energy to preserve fossil fuels and reduce pollution. Recycling has became the norm as a result of awareness brought about by past Earth Days.
The Earth Day Renewable Resources Fair on April 27 is free and open to the public. For more information or to participate contact Jahnn Gibson at 518- 705-2835.

All proceeds being donated to “Little Haven Childcare Center” in Fonda.
