10 Earth Day Booth Ideas

This April 22nd set up an Earth Day booth that will wow them all. Whether it’s at the edge of your driveway, on a street corner or alongside others in a community event hopefully one of these 10 Earth Day Booth Ideas will be a great way to sell, educate and/or have a lot of fun.

Local Floral Booth

Display local flower arrangements. Most flowers sold in the U.S are imported from Ecuador or Columbia. It is an unnecessary carbon footprint. Show how local flower purchases contribute to the revival of American Floriculture helping keep nearby mom-n-pop farms viable.

Fair Trade Food Booth

Offer a Fair Trade tasting/education booth complete with Fair Trade coffee, wine, chocolate and more. There are many reasons Fair Trade practices work, such as:

Actively promoting integrated farm management systems that improve soil fertility.

Preserving valuable ecosystems.

Limiting the use of harmful agrochemicals.

Seed Bomb Booth Giveaway

Making and distributing seed bombs are a clever way to turn eyesore spots into wildflower extravaganzas. Show and encourage seed bomb construction (using indigenous seeds to avoid specie invasion) complete with a local eyesore spot map to throw and watch seed bombs thrive. Seed balls by SeedBallz are a great seed bomb substitute.

The Eco Screening Booth

It’s always fun to sit down and watch a few scenes from a movie. Set up an eco-screening booth where Earth Day guests get exposed to thought provoking environmentally conscious films such as:

Waiting for Superman

An Inconvenient Truth

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead

Naturally Clean Booth

It is here where you can demonstrate (and sell) the wonder and effectiveness of  non-toxic, natural cleaning supplies. Show products such as Enzymes Kitchen Cleaner, N-9 Auto Dish Washing Detergent and Ecover All Purpose Concentrated Cleaner, or do-it-yourself tutorials using baking soda, vinegar, essential oils and more.

Eco Time Booth

This booth can show the effectiveness of using a timer for water conservation. Committing to a timed five minute shower instead of the usual ten could save up to 1000 gallons of water per year.

Green Book Booth

Display books alongside an easy synopsis that describes that book’s positive green message. Give some away in a raffle or stock up and sell them for a nominal fee. Some good green reads include:

The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan

Seeds of Change by Henry Hobhouse

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

The Eco-Swap Booth

Advertise bringing old, gently used items that one may want to swap for another at the Earth Day Eco-Swap Booth. Find ways to continue the swap throughout the year.

Fun for Kids Booth

Tap into young minds by creating fun games and crafts that promote eco-friendly practices. Show the many recyclables that often fall to the wayside and how important shutting of light switches and faucets can be.

Planet Run Booth

Set up a runner’s booth sign up with dates, times and locations for small, local runs to raise money for environmental organizations.

Hopefully these 10 Earth Day Booth Ideas will make your upcoming Earth Day a successful celebration
