Stop by the Clean Air Fair on Your Lunch Break – May 7 in the Arena District
Downtown employees and the community are invited to learn more about the impact of air pollution and discover simple ways to improve our air quality on Friday, May 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Arena District’s Battelle Plaza at the corner of Front Street and Nationwide Boulevard.
Stop by on your lunch break to enjoy free ice cream and music from CD101, enter a raffle to win great prizes, including a new bike from Cyclist Connection, and check out 30 exhibits from local organizations plus GE’s 131-foot wind-turbine blade that is making a special stop at the Clean Air Fair as part of a nationwide renewable energy tour.
The wind-turbine blade is part of the “Capture the Wind†tour: a 28-day, multi-state wind blade tour to emphasize the escalating role renewable energy will have on America’s clean energy future. Individuals who see the blade will have the opportunity to sign their name on the blade to pledge their support for a clean energy future and urge America’s leaders to support innovative renewable energy policies. The wind-blade will also be in Columbus on Thursday, May 6 at the COSI science museum. Check out GE’s Facebook page for more information about the tour: http://www.facebook.com/ecomagination.
A variety of the latest air-friendly vehicles will also be on display at the event, including The Ohio State University EcoCAR Team’s award-winning Equinox vehicle, the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio’s natural gas-fueled Honda vehicle, and several scooters from the local Zoot Scootz retail store. And don’t miss a special viewing of the future product of Toyota, a fully functional Prius plug-in presented by Central Ohio Toyota Dealers.
