Sky Harbor’s Amelia the Airplane Entertains on Earth Day

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport was a proud participant in the 40th Anniversary Earth Day celebration in downtown Phoenix. The event, held at Cesar Chavez Plaza, was hosted by Keep Phoenix Beautiful. Sky Harbor’s mascot, “Amelia” and a representative from the Navigator volunteer program participated in the Earth Day festivities, sharing information about Airport recycling programs.

The event featured more than 80 on-site exhibitors from community organizations to local businesses. Participants enjoyed receiving reusable recycle bags, free food and beverages, educational information and clothing from the vendor booths.
