Organizers of the 3rd Street Promenade certainly don’t think so. They’ve planned a packed day for celebrants at the 7th Annual Earth Day on the Promenade 2010, set for April 17 from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

The free event (on the Promenade between Wilshire and Broadway) will feature more than 60 exhibits featuring organic food, solar power, green gadgets, gardening supplies and eco-friendly toys.<\/p>\n

A “Sustainable Transport Village” will showcase high mileage and alternative energy cars, including Toyota and Honda hybrids, electric bikes and scooters. Speaking of — festival participants are encouraged to walk, bike, talke the Big Blue Bus, Tide Shuttle or Metro to get to this event, which is set up for pedestrians.<\/p>\n

The festival will offer many options for kids, from entertainers and exhibits, such as: Free to Be Me Drum Circle; Stuart Wilde\u2019s trekking llamas, Star Eco-Station\u2019s and Children\u2019s Nature Institute\u2019s wild animals; California Science Center’s exhibits, Heal the Bay and Surfrider. Kids will have a chance to bang a drum, pet a llama, adopt a shark, or sit in the driver\u2019s seat of a Big Blue Bus powered by cleaner-emitting natural gas.<\/p>\n
