Volunteer for Charlotte Clean and Green
Help Make This Year's Event a Success
Thanks to the power of 100 volunteers, last year's Charlotte Clean and Green was a great success, attracting nearly 3,000 attendees from across the Charlotte area. Consider becoming a part of making a difference in this growing region by taking steps to actively protect our environment right here in our community! Volunteer for Charlotte Clean and Green: An Earth Day Celebration!
This year's green educational festival takes place April 17, 2010 on the campus of Central Piedmont Community College, located in the heart of Charlotte!

There will be Volunteer Training Meetings (participate via phone or in person) to familiarize you with the event and volunteer requirements. Dates for that will be determined closer to the event.
Benefits of Volunteering!
All volunteers receive:
- A Charlotte Clean and Green organic cotton T‐shirt
- The opportunity to meet some really great people dedicated to greening our city
- During your non‐volunteer time, take the opportunity to attend the educational classes, peruse and shop the exhibitors and vendors and simply enjoy the festival
Charlotte Clean and Green promises once again to be fun and to provide the inspiration, motivation and education to help all of us take those "green" steps. Be part of it and help make Charlotte's second annual green festival an even bigger success!

Don't be a drip – fix that leak! Leaky faucets can waste thousands of gallons of water each year, like money down the drain. Repair or replace old or damaged fixtures. If you're not sure you have a leak, check the water meter before and after a two–hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, you probably have a leak.
