The Green Health and Wellness Expo at the Cox Science Center and Aquarium emphasized climate action and personal responsibility under the theme "Our Power, Our Planet," Sheryl Conn, a reporter for WPB TV, said.
The event, which coincided with the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, featured booths dedicated to environmental protection, activities for children and adults, and community organizations demonstrating sustainable living. "Attendees were invited to dress up as their favorite hero," Conn reported.
Organizers showcased a range of programming, including animal encounters with Bush Wildlife and Okehili Nature Center and a muralist for on-site painting. Conn noted a booth sponsored by the city's Office of Sustainability among the exhibitors, and said the expo aimed to inspire attendees to take steps to protect the environment year-round.
For tips on sustainable practices highlighted at the expo, Conn directed listeners to wpb.org/green.
The coverage was a brief community report focused on the event's activities and resources rather than policy decisions or formal actions.
