 | 2009 Oakland Earth Day | Dear {first_name} {last_name}
With a great deal of success, Oakland Earth Day 2009 resulted in planting over 150 plants, trees, and flowers, general clean up, over 20 gallons of paint, and creation of a 12x20 mural. Over 150 students, teachers, volunteers, and community members contributed to our success. Such an event could not happen without everyone pulling together in an effort to make a difference in our community. Don’t take my word for it, see what everyone else has to say about the event and why they were there!
A special thanks to our event sponsors. This could not have happened without your support. Thank You!
Warmest Regards,
Milad Yazdanpanah
Executive Director

The mural effort was spearheaded by a local muralist Kristi Holohan who not only designed the mural, but donated all her materials and time. | | Earth Day 2009 Video(Top^) |  Many of the Earth Day participants were interviewed and asked the following questions:
1. What does earth day mean to you?
2. What is your role for today?
3. What difference would you like to make on Earth Day?
Please check out the video and see what people had to say.
