Mark Your Calendar – May 19, 2012

We’re excited to announce the 5th annual Charlotte Clean and Green Festival will be Saturday, May 19 along the nearly completed Elizabeth Park – the new section of the Little Sugar Creek Greenway between 4th Street and Elizabeth on Kings Drive! We’re partnering with Mecklenburg Park and Recreation to host the festival and are excited about the new space and opportunities it brings!

Check back often to see updated photos as the Greenway moves toward completion. And, check out our Facebook page or our Gallery of photos to see photos from last years festival. Good education, great food, cool clean cars and fun exhibits combined to make for one fine celebration.

Welcome

Charlotte Clean and Green was founded with the mission of reaching out to all constituencies in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region and beyond – individuals, families and businesses – to educate, motivate and inspire them to live, work and play more sustainably by providing practical and economical ideas and resources to help those constituencies achieve that goal.

Our Vision

Our vision is to be a significant resource to help build the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region into a healthy and sustainable community and to inspire other communities around the country and around the world towards sustainability.

Strategies

• Host the premier environmental and sustainability-focused learning festival in the Charlotte Mecklenburg region on an annual basis.
• Provide high quality, accessible educational opportunities around sustainable living and working
• Communicate the criticality of sustainability to the health and economic welfare of our community and of the world
• Extend the knowledge and understanding on that criticality beyond the environmental and green business communities
• Create partnerships and encourage respectful and informed conversations among disparate constituencies about sustainability
• Develop an easily accessible, reliable and impartial online resource for green products and services
• Inspire others to become advocates for sustainability
