The event, to be held March 16, 2010, at Carr Winery, will bring  
together environmentalists and locals passionate about the  
environmental movement—locally and globally—by supporting  
organizations such as the Community Environmental Council and Earth Day.

The event promises to fill to capacity.  Local musicians, Spencer the  
Gardener, will play live from their new CD, Organic Gangster.   
Appetizers will be provided by local sustainable food specialist: Isla  
Vista Co-Op, Duo Catering, Cardena’s Fresh Fish, and Tom Shepherd  
from Shepherd Farms. Carr wine will be available for purchase by to  
all attendees.

In the wake of the devastating 1969 oil spill off Santa Barbara’s  
shores, a group of concerned Santa Barbarans began talking about a  
different way of looking at environmental systems. Over the next few  
years, around the country the environmental movement was born— 
including the Community Environmental Council, which was incorporated  
in the spring of 1970. During that time, Senator Gaylord Nelson  
visited Santa Barbara to view the damage from the oil spill. When he  
returned to Washington, D.C., he introduced a bill designating April  
22 as a national day to celebrate the earth. In CEC’s first act as  
new non-profit, it hosted one of the first Earth Day celebrations in  
the country.

Community Environmental Council (CEC) will host a historic Santa  
Barbara Earth Day 40 festival at Alameda Park on Saturday, April 17  
and Sunday, April 18, 2010.
