Record-breaking embellishment of Goleta Earth Day event results

Here are the numbers. More than 75 dedicated volunteers turned out to participate and took to the streets, parks, beaches and open spaces, with a mission to clean and protect our environment. During the free delivery event for bulky items at Brandon Elementary School, 60 vehicles dropped off a record 16,768 pounds of large objects. The collective cleanup effort at Bella Vista Park and Ellwood Beach resulted in the remarkable collection of more than 680 kilos of wastea testament to the community’s commitment to creating a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable city for all.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who dedicated their time and effort to make this event a resounding success. A special shout out goes to our young volunteers from the Montessori Center School of Santa Barbarawho showed that the passion for environmental management knows no age.

Our appreciation also goes to MarBorg Industries for their logistical support, Elubia’s kitchen for providing nutritious meals to our volunteers, and Considered coffee to keep everyone energized with their sustainable brews.

These events reflect what we can achieve when we come together as a community. The success of Beautify Goleta’s Earth Day 2024 event will not only be measured by the pounds of waste collected, but also by the strengthened bonds within our community and the shared vision for a greener future.

We look forward to continuing this tradition of service and sustainability, and we invite everyone to join our upcoming initiatives. Together we can make every day an Earth Day.
