The Universal Studios Hollywood “Eco-Fair” returns on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as The Entertainment Capital of L.A. celebrates Earth Day with over 30 engaging and educational displays, celebrity appearances, an offer of free parking for hybrid vehicles, and a hazardous waste disposal drive sponsored by the City and County of Los Angeles.
“The Office” star Melora Hardin and Lauren Koslow from “Days of our Lives” will autograph eco-friendly bags and help dispense energy efficient light bulbs at the Environmental Media Association’s booth. Designed to captivate the imagination of guests, the free Eco-Fair will also include interactive exhibits by Bell’s Bugs, La Knitterie Parisienne and the Hollywood Beautification Team.
Bell’s Bugs will offer a “hands-on” lesson on the vital impact reptiles and insects have on the environment. Some of the more animated critters will include an Australian Bearded Dragon Lizard named "Benny," Ironclad beetles that "play dead,” Darkling "stink” Beetles, a velvet ant that‘s actually a female wasp and a friendly Tarantula named “Rosey” who is eager to shake everyone’s hands.
La Knitterie Parisienne will offer a display of organic knitting yarns made from soy, hemp, bamboo and corn with accompanying bamboo knitting needless, while the Hollywood Beautification Team will give out free trees to local visitors.
