Charlotte Clean and Green 2010

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Making smart decisions to live, work and play in a healthier, more sustainable and economical manner is what Charlotte Clean and Green is all about! It is individuals, families, businesses and our community becoming more aware and taking positive steps towards our greener future. This annual community‐wide event is designed to provide the inspiration, motivation and education to help all of us take those “green” steps.

The festival is committed to being a zero waste event. Compostable–only plates, cups and cutlery will be available, carbon credits will be purchased to offset any electricity use and volunteers will help reuse, recycle or compost any waste.
