Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day! It’s a big deal for the environmental movement and a big deal for I-GO. Our street team is making the rounds at several Earth Day events this week. They all promise to be fun, educational, and — these days, in light of climate change and the need to develop alternative energy sources — critically important in galvanizing support among the public. Stop by, say hi, and check ‘em out. We’ll be doling out discounts on I-GO sign-ups, so tell your friends, family, and coworkers!
We’re especially psyched about the big Daley Plaza Earth Day 2010 event tomorrow from 11am to 2pm. I-GO will have one of its plug-in Priuses — cars capable of up to 100mpg fuel efficiency — on Daley Plaza (50 W. Washington St.)!
The Chicago Climate Action Plan (CCAP) and Chicago’s Department of Environment are joining forces to create one of the biggest and most informative Earth Day events in the city. “What’s Your Climate Action?” is the theme and attendees will learn about CCAP’s five strategies for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. We understand Illinois’ own Ray LaHood, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, will be on hand along with Mayor Daley, of course, so it ought to draw quite a midday Loop crowd. We’re looking forward to it!
