Tuesday's Earth Day features myriad events

YOUNGSTOWN — A fashion show featuring clothing made from recyclables, an Earth Day Festival and a special “low-carbon diet” day at a local college are all a part of the local Earth Day celebration.

Earth Day, an annual date to show respect and support for the Earth and the environment, is today and millions of people, particularly school children and college students, are marking the occasion.

Locally, junior class students in the Interactive Multmedia-Visual Arts class at the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center in Canfield were challenged to design fashions made from recyclable and trashable materials. Their handiwork is being shown to other MCCTC students today at the first Trash Bash Fashion Show at the school.
