Element Gets Aware on Earth Day

Elemental Awareness and Element used the Earth Day weekend by holding down booths in Costa Mesa, Santa Cruz and Berkeley. In Costa Mesa kids like Ryland (above) designed "Earth Day Series" graphics and took home prizes for their efforts. In Berkeley E.A. interns, family and friends like Walker Ryan took part in a demo. Thanks to all that participated in our activities, try to make Earth day everyday by remembering to recycle and throw trash in its proper place.
