Celebrate Earth Day 2011 at the University of Florida

NEW TAMPA - The 2011 Earth Day Tampa Bay celebration will have the theme "Pride of Place" to promote the community's pride in local environments.

The free, public event will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the University of South Florida Botanical Gardens, off Bruce B. Downs Boulevard on campus. The event is organized by the Tampa Bay Sierra Club and the USF Office of Sustainability.

Earth Day 2011 is the 41st Earth Day Tampa Bay celebration. This year's festival will feature exhibitors, demonstrations, arts and crafts, community groups, live music, food and children's activities – all aimed to help residents create a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

Businesses will demonstrate new products that will focus on ways to "go green," and nonprofit organizations will be on hand to discuss what they do. The event typically attracts several thousand participants.
