From wetlands and wildlife to waste reduction and food rescue, guests at the 2017 LA Environmental Education Fair (LAEEF) learned about environmental resources from all over the Los Angeles region, enjoyed delicious food from food trucks, and even experienced live entertainment! Grades of Green joined in on the fun by hosting a booth with the Grades of Green Natural Resources matching game where guests matched manmade items to the natural resource it came from. Because the fair took place at the Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanic Garden, everyone was delighted by the beautiful scenery and great weather as well as the occasional peacock freely roaming around.
