Become a SponsorEarth Day is the most important event of the year for any company or organization wanting to showcase green programs and products, and connect with the exploding population of green consumers. As seen across mainstream media and in the marketplace, sustainability e!orts are no longer a luxury – they are a requirement.

For decades, Earth Day has been the annual gathering of community to share information, celebrate the advances we have made in our collective e!ort to protect the planet, and recharge for another year.

Share with the world what your company has learned, what you’re doing now, and why.

Earth Day serves to remind people what is important in our own lives, as well as our shared existence – our community, our state, our country, our planet. In line with the Community Environmental Council’s Fossil Free by ’33 mission, this annual festival draws on the inspiration of creating one of the "rst fossil-fuel-free communities in the nation.

“Green Star Co!ee is always proud to sponsor the Community Environmental Council’s annual Earth Day celebration in Santa Barbara. Through participation in Earth Day festivities, we raise awareness about our sustainable co!ee products while building relationships within our community.” – Kevin Donnelly, Co-Founder, Green Star Co!ee

“Arbor is proud to be a sponsor of the Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival. It is an amazing experience to be centered around like-minded people and work with organizations that are trying to make the environment the "rst priority when dealing with their lives and their businesses. It is a fun 2-day event to be involved in, and our business saw thousands come through our booth to learn more about who we are and what our company does that makes us an eco-friendly manufacturer and business in the community. I look forward to having Arbor back again as a sponsor for next year’s Earth Day Festival.”

– Andrew Jackson, owner of Arbor Santa Barbara

“Not a weekend goes by in Santa Barbara without a festival, parade, or event. Earth Day is special. It gave my small business tremendous exposure to the people who count - locals. I received phone calls and walk in tra#c for months afterward from clients who said they saw our booth at Earth Day.” – Brian Sawicki, Owner, Key 2 Fitness
