ARCAP sponsors Arkansas Earth Day Festival

The Arkansas Climate Awareness Project will be a sponsor of the Arkansas Earth Day Festival. Check it out!

Arkansas Earth Day Foundation, in partnership with the William J. Clinton Foundation, is producing the Arkansas Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 21, 2007, from 9am to 6pm. On this exciting day in downtown Little Rock, crowds of people will gather on the Clinton Library grounds for this major statewide festival to celebrate Earth Day. Families with young children, groups of youth, and couples of all ages will see a familiar festival landscape with food, shopping, games, live entertainers, and more which are all done with a twist: All the options are healthy, eco-friendly, socially responsible. The diverse fun and educational activities will engage, intrigue, and entertain while helping people to feel hopeful and motivated by our solutions based approach. The event is accessible to attendees from all walks of life especially since it is rain or shine and free!

ARCAP will also announce and introduce the winner of the “Global Warming and Arkansas” Scholarship Essay Contest at this event. So come and join the fun and find out who won!

About Arkansas Earth Day Foundation:
Arkansas Earth Day Foundation is a non-profit, local coalition of concerned families, inspired seekers, elected leaders, and responsible businesses working to increase community awareness of environmental issues and access to sustainable solutions through education, events, recycling, networking, products and services. Arkansas Earth Day Foundation began as Conway Earth Day Foundation and was founded by April Ambrose in collaboration with the Arkansas Center for the Study of Integrative Medicine. We offer an annual festival: Arkansas Earth Day Festival is an educational festival jam-packed with fun and interactive experiences designed to provide hopeful solutions that will motivate Arkansans and their families to positive action. The first festival in 2004 only had an attendance of 300, but over the next two years it grew in size to an attendance of almost 3000. The non-profit organization has no paid employees and produces the festival each year with college interns and volunteers just like you. All donations or proceeds from the festival are used to produce the following year’s event or for year-round environmental education activities.
