THANK YOU!
Charlotte Clean and Green 2009: An Earth Day Celebration was a tremendous success! It was a gorgeous spring day on Saturday, April 18 and thousands came out to the Central Campus of CPCC to be inspired to play, live and save green!
Festival attendees took advantage of the many free workshops and presentations, strolled among the green vendors and exhibits, checked out the smart cars and hybrids, shopped the farmers market and enjoyed some delicious food! Kids participated in some great hands‐on learning activities while their parents learned more about composting and organic gardening.
Thanks to all the sponsors, exhibitors, partners and to YOU for coming out to support the event.
Be sure to check out the 2009 Photo Gallery. We'll continue to post more pictures from the event as well as a video in the coming days. We'll also be posting information about next year's event soon. So be sure to check back often!
