Environmental awareness is focus at Brookside Park

November 18, 2001

PASADENA - Recycled art, clothes and other products were on display in an effort to raise environmental awareness at the Arroyo Seco Fest at Brookside Park on Saturday.

The theme of the event was "Celebrate the Environment," and one of the highlights was a fashion show that featured models wearing recycled clothing. Designer Alma Magana made outfits out of paper and plastic bags.

November is Environmental Awareness Month and some attendees signed a pledge to recycle more and buy more recycled products.

The event was sponsored by the city's Public Works and Transportation Department.
