Sunday: 10/10/10 Global Work Party

Join the Green Center this Sunday as we participate in the great events scheduled around Springfield for the 10/10/10 Global Work Party.

It's a day when communities all over the world roll up their sleeves and get to work solving the climate crisis by tackling community projects designed to generate awareness of and celebrate climate solutions at a local level.

It's an initiative spearheaded by 350.org, the organization working to reduce carbon dioxide emissions 10 percent in 2010 (which brings us one step closer to a healthy level of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere).

There are 18 local events you can participate in around Springfield on Sunday.

Why not attend the Indian Summer Festival at Lincoln Memorial Gardens, clear invasive plants at Adams Wildlife Sanctuary, participate in workdays at Starhill Forest Arboretum and Jubilee Farm, visit the Healthy Springfield Expo at the Illinois State Fairgrounds, or bring items you no longer want or need to the UIS Free Trading Post?
