A crocodile made out of a discarded egg carton. A series of gowns and outfits crafted from Doritos bags and other trash. Displays on how to protect the Red Bank Primary School from sea level rise. And a large turnout from students and local environmental organizations. All were part of the scene as Red Bank’s Earth Day Green Fair blossomed at the Middle School Monday. redbankgreen captured the happenings in photos.
