Earth Day 2010

On April 22nd City Repair will be holding an event in celebration of the 40th year of Earth Day.  The event, which will be held in SE Portland’s Buckman neighborhood,  is a community based event  to promote awareness of environmental issues and progressive organizations.  It also provides an opportunity for everyone to get involved with the local organizations who are dealing with these issues head-on on a daily basis.  This year the theme is Re-Seeding the World - celebrating localization. There will be live music from March Fourth Marching Band, Fruition  and Off the Grid and Mayor Sam Adams will be putting in an appearance.

There will be booths for local, sustainable businesses and non-profit organizations and, if you would like the opportunity to set up a booth, it’s not too late to apply.  Registration information can be found here.  The deadline for booth registration is April 19th.
