Green DC Day - April 20th

The District Department of the Environment (DDOE) is excited to host GreenDC Day 2011 on Wednesday, April 20^th from 10am until 3pm on Freedom Plaza.

GreenDC Day is an Earth Day Celebration where DDOE seeks to increase public awareness about environmental protection, energy efficiency and natural resources. While there is an exciting agenda planned - which includes the Mayor’s Press Conference and various fantastic music performances - the purpose of this annual event is to expose DC residents to the wide range of programs and services available to them, and to provide exposure to area businesses offering eco friendly options for greening their lives, homes, offices, schools etc. Local and federal VIPs are expected to attend the festivities and there will be vendors and exhibit booths informing the public about environmental practices.

The event will be held at Freedom Plaza again this year - as this is a highly visible public location - situated on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC (between 13^th and 14^th Streets).  

The rain date is set for the following day - Thursday, April 21st.
