Alhambra Celebrates Earth Day
First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day began as the brainchild of San Francisco activist John McConnell and Wisconsin Senator Gaylod Nelson.
Alhambra is preparing to celebrate this Earth Day on April 22, with two special events hosted by the City of Alhambra. All residents are welcome to participate as the City invites everyone to mark the occasion in an environmentally-friendly way.
