J. Thow Designs & Earth Day 2008
April 1, 2008

Well it's that time of year and the City of Oxnard is getting ready for their annual EarthDay Celebration. I have once again had the honor of creating the artwork for this years poster and promotional products, which this year features one of my favorite subjects the awesome California Gray Whales. My depiction of mother and baby gray swimming amoung the kelp forests that line the bottom of the sea all along the west coast is entitled "Swim Lessons". Enjoy...

The event is always a great time with lots of family fun, community displays, great music and food.

I will be at this year's event signing posters, so please be sure to come out and say hello, I look for ward to seeing you all there.

If you can't make it out to the event but would still like one of the posters, I have a very limited supply that I have signed just for you. Please contact me directly to get yours today.

EARTH DAY CELEBRATION TO PROMOTE
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRACTICES

Oxnard’s Earth Day celebration seeks to inspire the community to think about the earth’s natural resources, and encourage them to do what they can to protect these resources. “We want people to understand that every individual action, no matter how small, has an accumulative impact on our environment,” said Trish Honigsberg, Recycling Specialist at the City of Oxnard.

For businesses, environmental stewardship is not only the responsible thing to do – it can also be very attractive. “Businesses can improve their operational profile and work practices, and save money, through waste minimization, energy efficiency, and much more,” said Honigsberg. “Many local businesses understand the environmental and social benefits. It’s just plain good business!”

To learn more about water conservation, reducing waste, purchasing recycled products, “Closing the Loop,” implementing pollution prevention strategies, hazardous waste management processes, and much more, join the City of Oxnard’s Earth Day festivities.
