Green DC Day

Our nation’s capital is going green and the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) is leading the way.  In celebration of Earth Day, DDOE is hosting Green DC Day on Monday, April 21, 2008 on Freedom Plaza in Northwest Washington, DC.  Green DC Day is designed to promote green living and a healthy environment.  Green DC Day kicks off a full week of Earth Day events taking place across the city.  Please join us between 10am and 4pm to celebrate the District’s going green efforts.

Exciting green events will take place throughout the day such as: a green fashion show and an 11:00am going green press conference which Mayor Adrian Fenty has been invited to give remarks on the environmental progress in the District.
