Earth Day Fair at Whole Foods Market

Wednesday, April 21
The Girls Gone Green, Whole Foods Market and Global Greenup are hosting the Earth Day Fair 2010, an event unlike any other Earth Day celebration that Jacksonville has ever seen! People are invited to join us throughout the day on Wednesday, April 21st from 10am to 9pm at Whole Foods Market on San Jose Blvd. for an exciting day of reducing, reusing and recycling.

Conex Recycling, Teacher Supply Depot, Recycling E-Scrap will be on-hand collecting paper, plastic, glass, unused furniture, office items, and discarded electronics all to be recycled or reused. Participants are also encouraged to bring clothes, hats, board games, toys and more to swap out in our Kids Clothing and Toy Swap. Parents and kids can exchange those toys they just do use anymore for something “new.” All extra clothes will be donated to City Rescue Mission. We will also have several other green business vendors and non-profits. It is FREE to set up as a vendor at the event. If you are interested in becoming a vendor, please contact Martin at info@globalgreenup.com

Whole Foods Market will donate FIVE PERCENT of the day’s net sales to The Girls Gone Green, a local 501c(3) non-profit devoted to raising awareness about our planet’s plight by producing news segments, appearing on radio shows and hosting festivals and conventions along with various outreach programs. The Girls Gone Green is excited to partner with Whole Foods Market and Global Greenup to put on such a unique event.
