Sunday, April 19th 2009
One to Five PM

Be a part of Lincoln’s largest Earth Day Festival, a free community event on Sunday April 19th 2009!
This year’s Earth Day planning committee, the Coalition for the Environment and Earth Day (CEED) has welcomed partnerships with the City of Lincoln, the University of Nebraska, the Downtown Lincoln Association, and others.
Why? Interest in the environment and energy is greater than it has ever been. The promise of a clean energy economy gives people hope for a future of prosperity and a healthy planet. Green businesses are growing in numbers and popularity, and we all want our community to benefit one another.
