Earth Day 2010

Earth Day 2010

Earth Day has been celebrated annually since its inception in 1970. 2009 was the first year that BASEC held an Earth Day celebration in Bermuda. That “Earth Day Birthday” was held last year at Barr’s Bay Park on April 22nd, 2009, the official date designated as “Earth Day”.

The event aimed to educate and raise awareness about the importance of the resources the Earth provides for human existence and quality of life. This celebration promoted and engaged a heightened commitment to protect the earth’s resources from unsustainable exploitation. From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., the celebration brought together members of the community to share food, entertainment and information on an Earth Day theme, and encouraged pledges from attendees to refine or reduce their ecological footprint during the year.

In 2010 BASEC hopes to draw an even larger crowd by holding Earth Day at the more central Victoria Park, and by more extensive marketing, to be aimed primarily at young people. In 2010 BASEC will have even more environmental organizations displaying information and informing the attendees of simple ways they can help Bermuda’s environment. A children’s area will also be available, encouraging a family atmosphere. The live entertainment will not only be a draw, but performers will also promote an earth-friendly message.

All are welcome for Earth Day 2010 in Victoria Park from 4 - 8pm, free of charge. If you are an eco-friendly organization, interested in displaying, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.
