Earth Day Fair at LBCC

Earth Day Fair - April 19th, 2018

   Brian Reed (grey shirt) explains the overall intricacies and features of his Tesla vehicle on display at the LBCC Earth Day Fair on Apr. 19th, 2018. Reed explains to passing students that the vehicle is fully electric and is just as capable, if not more so, than other gas driven cars, showing the capabilities of energy efficient.

Melinda is part of the First United Methodist Church in Albany who collect well worn shoes for the purpose of recycling them to be repurposed into the turf that playgrounds are made with. Besides the recycling of shoes, Melinda also educates people on locations of where to donate clothes and recycle "unusual" items from appliances to batteries and even light bulbs that cannot be recycled through the cities curb side recycling program.     
 
At the Oregon Youth Authority Young Women's Transition Program table, the ladies describe how they work together with farmers to get hands on experience using farm machinery and equipment. For this upcoming Mothers Day, the ladies are putting together flower baskets, as can be seen on the table, with flower arrangements that match the local high school and college colors.
