Several colorful booths filled downtown Lafayette Plaza on April 26 as part of Sustainable Lafayette’s Earth Day Festival, which included information about recycling, composting, public transportation, and more as well as fun games like giant LEGOs and cornhole for the kids. In Orinda, children donned in neon green “Orinda Action Day” T-Shirts and armed with garbage grabbers headed to the hillside behind Orinda Community Park on April 25 in search of elusive hidden trash as part of the Earth Care Carnival, sponsored by Mindful Littles and Orinda Parks and Recreation. Other groups of residents cleaned up at several different locations throughout the city. 

    Moraga was a bit more low-key, focusing on herbs and potpourri at 5A Rent-a-Space.
