Council President Krekorian was the featured speaker at the 2024 Earth Day celebration sponsored by Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment (LA SAN). The theme of this year's events was “Los Angeles vs. Plastics.” The Council President has been a leader in fighting the avalanche of plastic waste contaminating our groundwater and food supply. Measures he led in the Council are now limiting the City’s consumption of single-use plastics by replacing single-use bags, straws, utensils, and styrofoam food containers with compostable substitutes.
The Earth Day celebration included entertainment by H.E.ART (Heartfetl Education Through the Arts) and opportunities for the public to learn more about the recycling and waste disposal options offered by LA SAN.
